Members: Lindsey Cooley, Kirstin Bishop, Kristen Quesinberry, Margaret West Lesson Topic: Longitude and Latitude Subject Area: Geography Grade Level: 4-5 Time: 50 minutes **1. Pennsylvania Standards: **  **7.1.3.B: ** Identify and locate **places** and **regions** as defined by physical and **human features.**  **2. NCSS Standards: **People, Places and Environment  Teacher expectation: Guide learners in the use of maps and other geographic representations, tools and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective   <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">During the lesson, in groups of 4 to 6, students will work together to identify the longitude and latitude lines, as well as cities on a map
 * 7.1.3.A: ** Identify how basic **geographic tools** are used to organize and interpret information about people, **places** and **environment**.
 * 3. Learning Objectives**

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Have students write down their predictions to the following questions: <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · // <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Use video: //<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> How do planes navigate without causing a collision? <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">What is the difference between longitude and latitude? <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">What is the purpose of the prime meridian and the equator?
 * 4. Engagement**

Instruction ** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Using the wiki students will work through various games, worksheets and websites to gain knowledge about longitude and latitude. <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> **6. Assessment** <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Using the wiki students can practice their longitude and latitude knowledge and skills with the two interactive online quizzes found under the quiz tab on the wiki. Students will also be required to take an authentic assessment by using longitude and latitude coordinates to estimate an approximate location.
