Giving
general instructions:
Firstly, we will be learning about longitude and
latitudes. After that we will do activities on longitude and latitudes of the
earth.
Checking
understanding of the instructions:
I will ask few students to repeat the instructions (Ask to those students who are not
listening).
Information Input:
The imaginary line drawn on the map from east
to west is called latitude. There are 90 degree in North and 90 degree in
South. The lines of latitude are parallel to each other. Which is used to
locate places on Earth. Some of the important lines of latitude are Equator,
Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic circle.
Likewise, an imaginary line drawn on the map from north to south is called longitude. The lines of longitude have same length but are not parallel. Which used to calculate time and locate places on Earth. There are 180 degree in the West and 180 degree in East. The important line of longitude is the 0 degree line called Greenwich Meridian or Prime Meridian. (Then further explanation with help of levelled diagram).
