Latitude and Longitude

We are going to participate in the Globe at Night project. First, however, we have to determine our latitude and longitude. What is that - well, check out this website from Social Studies for Kids for a basic definition and then play this Latitude and Longitude Map Match game to practice what you learned.

Are you ready for a challenge - Try Cracking the Code in this fun game.



Find out YOUR latitude and longitude using one of these tools.
MapTech on ClassBrain
ItouchMap



Enter the quardants you found for your location into the View Above Earth page and see what you can see.
