Warm-Up We will now have daily warm-ups. Keep them together. You will turn them in every Friday. 1.How many oceans are there? 2.How many continents are there? 3.Name the four hemispheres. 4.After you’ve formed a hypothesis, what is the next step in the scientific method?
12
Latitude: Divides N & S Runs (drawn) E & W Reference Line: EQUATOR – 0⁰ N & S or 0⁰ Latitude
13
Longitude: Divides E & W Runs (drawn) N&S Reference Line: Prime Meridian – 0⁰ E & W or 0⁰ Longitude

It's a “LONG way from North Pole to South Pole for LONGitudes.” I'm climbing the “LADDER OF LATITUDES” LONG WAY
15
Plotting Latitude and Longitude Latitude is 1 st and is always N or S Longitude is 2 nd and is always E or W State Capitol Building 35.78027 N, 78.63910 W
16
Finding the Coordinates When locating coordinates, always look at the location of the latitude first. After you have found that number, then proceed on to find the longitude.
17
Steps to plotting latitude and longitude 1.Find latitude degrees. Is it north or south from the 0 degree mark (equator)? 2.Find longitude degrees. Is it east or west from the 0 degree mark (Prime Meridian)?
18
East West, North South on the Earth The N tells us we’re north of the Equator. The S tells us we’re south of the Equator. The E tells us that we’re east of the Prime Meridian. The W tells us that we’re west of the Prime Meridian. (N, W) (N, E) (S, W) (S, E)
19
East West, North South on the Earth That means all points in North America will have a North latitude and a West longitude because it is North of the Equator and West of the Prime Meridian. (N, W) Prime Meridian
20
East West, North South on the Earth What would be the latitude and longitude directions in Australia? Prime Meridian ? If you said South and East, you’re right!
