Presentation transcript:

Imagine a single dot on a ping pong ball. How would you describe its location?

Latitude: Measures distances north and south of the Equator

Longitude – measures distances east or west of the Prime Meridian

Writing Coordinates First: Write the Degree of Latitude Example: 41° Second: Write the direction (North or South) Example: 41°N

Writing Coordinates Third: Write the Degree of Longitude Example: 41°N, 77° Last: Write the direction (East or West) Example: 41°N, 77°W

Get out your map of the United States!

I will call out either the name of a city, lake, or coordinates. Work together determine the answer write it on your whiteboard. Hold it up to be corrected

1. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 39°N, 75°W 2. 35°N, 90°W Memphis, Tennessee 3. Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming 44 ° N, 110°W °N, 117 °W San Diego, California

Relative location - the location of a place when compared to other places.

Example - the Relative Location of Pennsylvania is south of south of New York, east of Ohio, and north of Maryland

Everyone get in to groups and get out your map of Europe

1. Teacher calls a location. 2. Groups determine the relative location. 3. Write the answer on your whiteboard and hold it up 4. Class discusses each location.

1. Paris, France 2. The Ionian Sea 3. Rome, Italy 4. Athens, Greece 5. Sicily 6. The Strait of Gibraltar
