What educators are saying
Description
This step-by-step demonstration uses an ORANGE to help students visualize lines of latitude, lines of longitude, the equator, prime meridian, and hemispheres. This resource includes detailed directions and photos. Also included are student worksheets that accompany this lesson. Interactive notebook pages are also included for student reference, and two worksheets that can serve as a quick exit ticket or assessment are also within this file.
If you are interested in reading more about this, you can see a video demonstration on my blog HERE.
This lesson is perfect if you are introducing the geographic coordinate system, but also serves as a great review. Plus, who doesn't love a little snack!!
Thank you! Have a blessed day.
