Objective Taught What Latitude Measures
On-Screen Text Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that circle the earth in the East/West plane, and range from 0° to 90°.
Click each term on the screen to learn more about using lines of latitude
Pop-Up Text ° (degree symbol) – Both latitude and Longitude are measured in degrees denoted by this symbol after a
number.
Parallel – Unlike meridians (longitude), none of the imaginary lines that go around the earth horizontally
(east/west) will ever meet or cross one another. “Parallel” is another term used for a line of latitude
Northern/Southern Hemisphere – When using latitude, the earth is divided into halves.
All of the area on the earth that is above the equator is considered the Northern Hemisphere and
will be noted in the measurement with an ‘N’ after the measurement.
All of the area on the earth that is below the equator is considered the Southern Hemisphere and
will be noted in the measurement with an ‘S’ after the measurement.
Equator: The equator is located at 0° and is the starting point we will be using when using lines of latitude
North/ South Poles: The north pole and the south pole are the farthest points from the equator and are
measured at 90°N and 90°S respectively
“Going up or down the ladder” – to help you remember what to do when you see latitude measurements,
remember… to use latitude you go up or down the ladder.

Question Stem 20°S latitude runs through which three continents?
Options [A] North America, South America, Asia
[B] South America, Africa, Oceana
[C] Asia, Africa, Europe
[D] Europe, Antarctica, Africa
Correct Answer B
Feedback  Good Job! - If you follow the 20°S parallel line around the whole globe
- “Next” arrow does or across the whole map, you will pass over South America, Africa, and
not appear until the Oceana
question is answered X – Check the steps - first find the equator (0°) in the middle of the map,

Screen Title Latitude Lines Screen # 6/18
Objective Taught What does Latitude tell us about a location?
On-Screen Text Not only does latitude tell us WHERE a location is, but is also helps us learn about
the location. Latitude tells us about the climate and weather of a location as well
as explaining the type of animals and plants that can live there.
Click each label on the image to learn more about what lines of latitude tell us
about the environment
Pop-Up Text The locations on the equator are among the hottest in the world. The farther
North or South you get away from the equator, the colder it tends to be.
Extra Information Plants and animals have to adapt to the environments. That means the farther
away from the equator you are, the more you will see animals with heavy fur
coats, plants with shallow roots, and other defense mechanisms. The closer to
the equator you are you will see more cold blooded animals, plants that can
retain water for long periods of time, and other defense mechanisms against
heat.

Screen Title Longitude Lines Screen # 8/18
Objective Taught What Longitude Measures
On-Screen Text Lines of longitude are imaginary lines that circle the earth in the North/South plane, and range from 0° to 180°.
Click each label on the image to learn more about using lines of longitude
Pop-Up Text ° (degree symbol) – Both latitude and Longitude are measured in degrees denoted by this symbol after a number.
Meridians – Meridians are the name of the imaginary lines that are drawn vertically (north/south) on the map. Unlike
parallels (latitude), meridians DO cross or meet. All of the meridians meet at the North and South Poles.
Eastern/Western Hemisphere – When using longitude, the earth is divided into halves.
All of the area on the earth that is east of the prime meridian is considered the Eastern Hemisphere and will be
noted in the measurement with an ‘E’ after the measurement.
All of the area on the earth that is west of the prime meridian is considered the Western Hemisphere and will be
noted in the measurement with an ‘S’ after the measurement.
Prime Meridian: The primer meridian is an arbitrary line of longitude and is located at 0°. It is the starting point we
will be using when using lines of longitude.
North/ South Poles: The north pole and the south pole are the points at which all of the meridians meet at the “top”
and “bottom” of the earth.
“Going along the longitude” – Longitude lines are longer that latitude lines (they go all the way around the earth in
every direction, where latitude circles get smaller the farther away you are from the equator) to help you remember
what to do when you see longitude measurements, remember… to use longitude go along the longitude.

Question Stem Which of the following countries does 60°W run through?
Options [A] Russia
[B] Greenland
[C] Brazil
[D] Sweden
[E] Canada
Correct Answer B, C, E
Feedback  Good Job! - If you follow the 60°W Meridian from the North Pole to the
South Pole, you will pass over a number of countries, but among them are
Greenland, Brazil, and Canada. The other countries listed are in the Eastern
Hemisphere.
X – Uh-oh… did you go east instead of west from the prime meridian? If you
follow the 60°W Meridian from the North Pole to the South Pole, you will
pass over a number of countries, but among them are Greenland, Brazil, and
Canada. The other countries listed are in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Objective Taught Using latitude and longitude to find cities as well as the environment and geographic features.
Click each label on the image to learn more about using lines of longitude
On-Screen Text Full Example – Find a major city and geographic feature located near 35°N latitude and 120°W
Longitude
Pop-Up Text Step 1 – On the World Map Identify the equator (0° latitude)
Step 2 – Go “north” (up the ladder) on the map 35°(up the latitude ladder)
Step 3 – Find the prime meridian (0° longitude)
Step 4 – Go “west” on the map 120° (a LONG the Longitude)
Step 5 – Zoom in on the map where these two lines intersect
Step 6 – If you look around this point you will see the cities of Santa Maria, CA, Bakersfield,
CA, and San Louis Obispo, CA in the United States. The point lies in the Los Padres National
Forest. It is probably a temperate climate because it is not close and not too far from the
equator.
Extra Information Other factors, like how close the city is to the water will also affect the climate, animals, and plant
life in the area

Activity instructions – Activity instructions – to be completed on a discussion board or blog
to be completed 1. Using http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/latitude_and_longitude_finder.htm find the
on a discussion latitude and longitude of your city. Round to the nearest degree.
board or blog 2. Post the latitude and longitude on your blog/discussion board, but NOT the actual city,
state, country, etc….
3. Look at your teammate’s posts. In the comment section of their post, using the
information they have given you about where they live make an educated guess about:
A. What the climate is like there (ex. are the summers mild? Are the winters cold and
snowy?)
B. What kind of animals are native there (make at least one specific guess)
C. What kind of plants are native there (make at least one specific guess)
D. What would you pack if you were going to visit this location.
4. After your teammates have made their guesses about where you live, reveal the location
and analyze their responses. Did they guess correctly? Take this opportunity to tell them
about the climate, animals, and plant life where you live. Think about what season it is
and what clothing you wear daily to be comfortable. What clues would knowing the
latitude and longitude have given them that might have helped (if they were wrong)
5. As a group, choose one location and create a “virtual picture” collage of the location based
on your discussion of what is native to that latitude and longitude (each member must
contribute at least two pictures).
