Question

activity: treasure hunt with coordinates - set 3
objective: learn how to locate places on the map using latitude and longitude.
instructions:

1. look at your map and find the lines of latitude (horizontal) and longitude (vertical).
2. search for each coordinate in the list and mark it on your map with a circle or a star.
3. write the name of the place you found in the table below.
4. the first team to find all the places wins the treasure hunt!

coordinates (latitude, longitude) place found
(48°n, 2°e)
(1°s, 36°e)
(34°s, 58°w)
(37°n, 122°w)
(59°n, 18°e)
reflection: what did you learn today about using coordinates?

Explanation:

To complete this activity, one needs to use a world - map and find the locations corresponding to the given latitude and longitude coordinates. Latitude lines run horizontally and longitude lines run vertically on a map. By intersecting the appropriate latitude and longitude lines for each set of coordinates, the place can be identified.

Answer:

(48°N, 2°E): Paris (France)
(1°S, 36°E): Near Lake Victoria in Africa
(34°S, 58°W): Buenos Aires (Argentina)
(37°N, 122°W): San Francisco (USA)
(59°N, 18°E): Stockholm (Sweden)
