Latitude and Longitude

Latitude and longitude were both introduced today. We will still continue to map and locate the states and their capitals on our USA maps. At the same time, the children will look more into identifying the western, eastern, northern, and southern hemispheres, as well as the Equator and Prime Meridian (not to be confused with "P.M", meaning post meridian, when dealing with time).


A closer look at latitude, longitude, the equator, and prime meridian lines.
