How to divide the world into circles of latitude and longitude

Language aim:

You are able to describe a location using terms as high/low latitude and high/low longitude

Coördinaten

Om een locatie te kunnen aanwijzen heb je twee getallen nodig: de breedtegraad en de lengtegraad (longitude.

Longitude

Latitude

Latitude(breedtegraad)

Low latitude means close to the equator.

High latitude means close to the poles.

North of the equator is written with N

South of the equator is written with  S

So the Netherlands has the latitude coordinates 52ºN 

Altitude

Latitude

Longitude(lengtegraad)

Circles of longitude are imaginary vertical circles around the globe

Prime meridian

The prime meridian: 

• Is a circle of longitude 
  
• Divides the Earth in East and
  West 
  
• Is at zero°
  
  
  
• Everything right from the prime meridian is E 
  
• Everything left from the prime meridian is W 
  
  So the Netherlands is on 6ºE

1.You have to click on the correct coordinate.
2.You start with 100 points. Every mistake costs you points.

3.If both latitude and longitude are correct you are asked to look up a country. You will earn the flag of the country.
4.The person with most flags wins.
