Globes and Maps, Latitude and Longitude

Today in class we discussed similarities and differences between maps and globes. We also learned all about lines of latitude and longitude, and how we use them to find locations on the earth. By the end of class, the students were able to find places on earth if given the proper coordinates, and also write the coordinates of a variety of locations chosen at random.

Homework: Read section 1-4 in your textbooks, and be ready to work with topographic maps for next class.
