Adam L. ClevengerWhat would you see if you traveled around the world at your latitude? Strap on a pair of "Latitude Shoes" and go for a 24-hour ride! What seasons would you experience? What clothes would you need? Find the photoperiod for one of the favorite places you visit. How do other photoperiods at your latitude compare to your own?
Share Your Stories!
Post a note on the Journey North Teacher Network if you'd like to exchange Latitude Shoes travel stories with other classrooms or homeschools. Challenge your kids to figure out the latitude of other participants.
