Latitude and Longitude Games

Hi Joe -- When you mentioned latitude and longitude I realized I couldn't remember anything about it. So I looked it up on the internet. Here are some cool sites I found.

Songs
I love this song -- it makes it easier for me to remember longitude and latitude
And here is another song. it's helpful but not as good a song.

Video Review
Here is a video of how to use google maps to find longitude and latitude of a place. 
Here is a great review of latitude and longitude. 
And a short movie. You have to answer a question and then it starts.


I like this one. It is a a  teacher from australia using google earth to teach about latitude and longitude

This reviews the topic and shows a lot of the math behind it

Games
And here are some games to practice:

• KidsGeo.com

Other Websites about using maps
You were so good at using the map in washington dc. everytime i would get turned around you could find us on the map. Here are a lot of websites about learning to use maps

Let's Do Together
Let's see if we can figure out the longitude and latitude of places we have been to. Here is a video of how to use google maps to find longitude and latitude of a place. 

• Crystal Lake?
• Washington DC
• Isla Holbox (where the whale sharks are)
• Boulder
• Santa Fe

Maybe we can draw a map with the longtitude and latitude with all these wonderful places? We can draw a picture for each place to -- an icon. 

I'm going to try to find something that explains who invited latitude and longitude and why it is important.
