Challenge Question #4
"Where in the world do you think our 10 Mystery Sites are located?"

Your answer MUST include all of the following information about each
Mystery site:

a. The name of city.
b. The name of country.
c. Its exact latitude and longitude.

We are in the third grade at Ramsey Elementary School. This is the first time we participated in the Mystery Class Challenge. It has been challenging and fun. Wish us luck. Here are out answers:

#1. Garapan, Saipan E145.75 N15.0

#2. Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland W20.25 N63

#3. Capetown, South Africa E18.1 S31.0

#4. Istanbul, Turkey E29.0 N41.0

#5. McMurdo Station, Antarica E167.2 S77

#6. Begawan, Brunei E115.0 N5.0

#7. San Diego, California W115.1 N32.8

#8. Sao Paulo, Brazil W46.1 S24.2

#9. Carrick on Shannon, Ireland W7.75 N54

#10. Waimea, Kauai, Hawaii W159.75 N22.0

Thank you so much. This was a difficult project for some of my third grade groups. We took over a month to understand longitude and latitude. It took longer to figure out photo periods. Next year we plan to team up with fourth grade students. We just hope we came close. Thank you Ms. Anderson
