Can you use what you've learned about latitude and longitude
to play hide and seek?
1) City Search
Below is a list of approximate latitude/longitude coordinates
for three cities around the world. Use a world atlas and the
coordinates below and try and identify what cities the coordinates
are for.
a) 51.5 degrees latitude N; 0 degrees longitude
b) 1.33 degrees latitude N; 103.75 degrees longitude E
c) 33.5 degrees latitude S, 70.66 degrees longitude W
2) Secret Island Hopping
Pick two SECRET island locations in an ocean and figure out
what their approximate coordinates are. Write down the coordinates
for the islands, and give them to another student (but don't
tell him or her the name of the islands). Ask that student
to point out on an atlas where the islands are. Did your classmate
find your secret sites?
