Complete this sheet as your teacher uses the video
Longitude and latitude are both measured in degrees.
Latitude is measured in degrees NORTH or SOUTH because we count up and down the ladder. Anything above the equator is North and anything below the equator is South.
Longitude is measured in degrees EAST or WEST. Counting begins at 0 degrees which is the _____________ (?) Right of this line is East. Left of this line is West. 180° is the anti-meridian so doesn't need to have East or West.
Easter is coming up in a couple of months... use this Easter Egg map to write down the co-ordinates of each egg.
You will need to figure out the North and South, East and West. It might help to draw a compass!
Watch explanatory video on how to identify longitude and latitude.
