COORDINATE SYSTEM
On a sphere such as
the Earth, we can
pinpoint the location of
any city or landmark
using two values, the
lines of latitude and
lines of longitude.
• On the Earth there are
two reference points.
• The Equator divides
the Earth into the
Northern Hemisphere
and the Southern
Hemisphere.

The Prime Meridian
divides the Earth into the
Western Hemisphere
and the Eastern
Hemisphere.

WE ARE GOING TO PLAY A TYPE OF “SIMON SAYS”
• Imagine your body as a globe
• Your head is the North Pole
• Your feet are the South Pole
• Your waist is the Equator
• Lines of Latitude (hands stretched outward)
• Lines of Longitude (one hand up, one hand down)
