Keep this in mind: be a THINKER today!
What we are going to talk about today can be really confusing, and it can be hard to remember all year long. Let’s make sure that we are brainstorming ways for us to remember how this works when we’re reviewing later in the year! Slide5

Vocabulary: Hemisphere
Half of a sphere; half of the EarthSlide7
Label the HemispheresSlide8
Label each map to show which hemisphere it is. Slide9
Vocabulary: Latitude Lines
Imaginary lines that run east and west across the EarthSlide10
Vocabulary: Longitude Lines
Imaginary lines that run north and south around the EarthSlide11
Clear up the confusion
Lines of LATITUDE run from
EAST
to WEST
, BUT they are named
NORTH
and
SOUTH
because they are
NORTH AND SOUTH
of the
EQUATOR
. Slide12
Clear up the confusion
Lines of LONGITUDE run from
NORTH
to SOUTH, but they are named
EAST
and
WEST
because they are
EAST AND WEST
of the
PRIME MERIDIAN
. Slide13
Vocabulary: Equator
An imaginary line around the Earth that splits it into two equal parts (north and south).Slide14
Vocabulary: Prime Meridian
An imaginary line around the Earth that splits it into two equal parts (east and west). Slide15
Draw!
Draw and label the Equator and the Prime Meridian on the map
.Slide16
Guess the continent!
Pick a continent – KEEP IT A SECRET!
Write down the continent in the blank.
Write FOUR clues to help find the continent
Example: It is located in the northern hemisphere. Slide17
Guess the continent!
Find a partner.
Tell them one clue at a time.
Your partner will guess the continent. Switch!Slide18

SWBAT identify the Equator, Prime Meridian, and the four hemispheres on a map. Slide21
Vocabulary: Absolute Location
Absolute location tells us EXACTLY where something is located using latitude and longitudeSlide22
Which color is the line of latitude?
Which color is the line of longitude
?
Where are we located? Slide23
Vocabulary: Relative Location
Relative location describes where something is located in relation to other things.
My house is located 2 miles from the mall. (distance)
Our school is located one block over from Rock n Roll Tacos. (landmarks)
Dallas is 3.5 hours from Austin. (time)
Texas is south of Oklahoma. (direction)Slide24
Describe the relative location of Texas using direction.Slide25
Hmmm…Big Thoughts
What is the difference between absolute and relative location?Slide26
BAAAAAAAATLE SHIIIIIIIIIP!!!
Fold your game board in half, hamburger-style.
The top half is your opponent’s board, the bottom half is your board.
On your board, you need to place FOUR ships.
One ship should cover THREE blocks
Two ships should cover FOUR blocks
One ship should cover FIVE blocks
Your ships should be the blocks right next to each other, no diagonals!
Take turns guessing the location of your opponent’s ships by using the coordinates on the board.
If they get a spot right, say HIT
If they get a spot wrong, say MISS
First person to sink all of the ships wins!Slide27
Independent Work
Use absolute and relative location to answer the questions about the map. Slide28
