Latitude and longitude
The document discusses latitude and longitude and how they are used to locate places on Earth. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure degrees north and south of the equator, which is 0 degrees. Longitude lines run vertically and measure degrees east and west of the Prime Meridian, which is 0 degrees. By combining a place's latitude and longitude coordinates, its exact location can be pinpointed on a world map or globe. The document provides the Philippines' approximate latitude and longitude as between 10 to 20 degrees north and between 120 to 130 degrees east.

- 2. OBJECTIVES: At the endof the lesson, the students should be able to: ◦differentiate latitude from longitude; ◦describe the location of the Philippines using latitude and longitude; and ◦determine the location of different places using coordinates.
- 3. Competencies: ◦The Philippine Archipelago(location) ◦Location of different places using a coordinate system
- 4. Exercise/Activity: ◦Refer to theattached activity sheets.
- 5. Content/Lesson: ◦Watch the videosong and video clip about latitude and longitude. ◦Differentiate latitude and longitude based on what you have watched.
- 7. Latitude ◦Lines of Latituderun horizontally ◦Latitude is measured in degrees. ◦The Equator is 0 degree Latitude. ◦Lines of Latitude locate places North or South of the Equator. ◦The North Pole is 90 degrees N Latitude, and the South Pole is 90 degrees S Latitude.
- 8. Latitude Latitude lines arealso called parallels because on a globe, latitude lines never touch each other — they are parallel to each other.

- 10. Longitude ◦Lines of Longituderun vertically. ◦They are also called Meridians. ◦The Prime Meridian is found in Greenwich, England. ◦The Prime Meridian is 0 degrees Longitude.
- 11. Longitude The measurement thattells you how far you are east or west of the Prime Meridian (the thick line that passes through Greenwich, England and part of Africa).
- 12. Lines of Longitude ◦ThePrime Meridian (0°) and the 180° IDL split the earth into the Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere. ◦They are not parallels (like latitude lines), since they actually all touch each other on the north and south ends of the earth.
- 13. By combining latitudeand longitude, any location can be pinpointed.
