Mystery Sites:
#1 Safi, Morocco 32.3 N 9.2 W ( From the clues we thought
this might be Casablanca,
but
decided to go with Safi because of the longitude)
#2 Kuala Lumpur, Maylaysia 3.1 N l0l.6 E
#3 Montevideo, Uruguay 34.8 S 56.0 W
#4 Anganguero, Mexico 19.6167 N 100.3 W
#5 McMurdo, Antarctica 77.8 S 166.7 E
#6 Croydon, England 51.35 N 0.2 W ( This is a
best guess using the large library
atlas. Croydon
is a burrough of London which is 51.5 N 0.4 W)
#7 Auckland, New Zealand 37.0 S 174.8 E
#8 Hong Kong, China 22.3 N 114.2 E
#9 LaPaz, Bolivia 16.5 S 68.2 W
#10 Beijing, China 39.9 N 116.3 E
My class has had a great time tracking down clues and charting the
photoperiods. We were all excited to see the lines cross on the Spring
Equinox -- and have been amazed to see how fast the Antarctic has gone from
total daylight to almost total darkness. It was dramatic. We have learned
a lot about latitude and longitude, time zones, atlases, and resource books.
What a fun activity. We can hardly wait until next year. Of course, we are
on pins and needles waiting to see how close we came this year! Keep up the
good work!!!
