The Longitude Clues Have Arrived! Instructions for Teachers

2) Print ten copies of the Map (one for solving each Mystery Class).

3) Print the Equinox Sunrise Table (or display where students can see it).

4) Try an example. To help get you started, we've already completed worksheets for two of this year's Mystery Class sites (two freebies!).

5) Note to Teachers with Younger Students
Please don't be discouraged by this set of challenging clues. The clues will be easier after this, and at the end of the Mystery Class activity, answers will be grouped for judging with others near their same grade level.

Tip: If possible, view this image of the rotating Earth as you work on the Longitude Clues Worksheets.
