We are Mrs. Kloewer's 7th grade science class from York Middle School,
York, Nebraska and here are our guesses for the 10 Mystery Classes! We
hope we're right or the 8th graders will never let us hear the end of
it!!!
Mystery Class #1 Lisbon, Portugal 38.43 N 9.08 W
Mystery Class #2 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 3.10 N 101.4 E
Mystery Class #3 Montevideo, Uruguay 34.53 S 56.11 W
Mystery Class #4 Angangueo, Mexico 19.62 N 100.3 W
Mystery Class #5 McMurdo Base, Antarctica 77.51 S 166.37 E
Mystery Class #6 Croydon, England, Great Britain 51.23 N 0.07 W
Mystery Class #7 Auckland, New Zealand 36.52 S 174.45 E
Mystery Class #8 Hong Kong, China 22.15 N 114.10 E
Mystery Class #9 La Paz, Bolivia 16.30 S 68.09 W
Mystery Class #10 Beijing, China 39.55 N 116.23 E
We got the longitudes from an atlas and they don't quite match what we
figured with the sunrise times but we think they're close enough. We
got proof for all the cities by working in the library and then proving
we were right to Mrs. Kloewer. If somebody didn't agree, they had to
convince us and Mrs. Kloewer that we were wrong. We're pretty sure we
got them all right which Mrs. Kloewer says none of her classes have ever
done! We can't wait for next Friday!!!!!!!!
