The purpose of this lesson is to teach students about the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Students also gain perspective on the size of our galaxy (the Milky Way) and the distance of a nearby spiral galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy (shown on the right) using a 3D model. 3D graphing is an important tool used by structural engineers to describe locations in space to fellow engineers.
