this is a lesson plan which tackles about the ways on using and expressing geographic coordinates in particular to the seafarers. the approach of this lesson is student-centered. this considers limited time in every activity thus making the presentation more fun and challenging. uploaded 10-05-15--00:28hblytympc world geography

1. INTENDED LEARNING
OUTCOMES
With the use of world map, the students with
80% accuracy are expected to:
Compare and contrast latitude and
longitude;
Plot the coordinates of a certain place; and
Explain one’s ideas or thoughts the need for
geographic coordinate as a seafarer

2. LET’S HAVE A

3. Maps are flat models of three-dimensional objects.
Latitude
Longitude

4. What’s the difference
between latitude and
longitude?

5. What are grids?

6.  Both latitude and
longitude are needed to
locate precise positions
on Earth.
to form
GRID LINES

7. 1. Go to your respective groups
1st TASK:
2. Get your world map
3. List down 10 places (country/
city) from each continent
(except Antartica) you would
like to travel
The first group to
finish will earn bonus
points
IN 3 MINUTES

11. TIME IS
UP!
FOLD YOUR
PAPER
CROSSWISE
AND SUBMIT
IT INFRONT

12. Geographic
Coordinate

13. 12 X 3 = 36
122 X 9 = 1 098
15 638 X 127 = 1 986 026

15. Grids and grid coordinates
Grids and geographic
coordinates are used to locate
places on a map.
Grids are evenly spaced
horizontal and vertical
lines placed on a map.
Letters or numbers are placed along the
sides of a grid. They are combined to give
grid coordinates for any location.

16. what’s the difference
between
GRID AND GRID
COORDINATES?

17. Grids and grid coordinates
Alphanumeric means
a combination of
letters and numbers.
 On this map, the grid coordinates are alphanumeric. Locate the sports oval at Blair College.
The oval is easily
located within the
square bounded by
the grid coordinates.
The grid
coordinate
is C3.
Note that the coordinate for the horizontal grid lines is given first,
and the vertical grid coordinate second.

18. Eastings, and Northings
The numbers that refer to the vertical grid lines are called eastings.They increase in value as you move across in an easterly direction.

19. The numbers that refer to the horizontal grid lines are called northings.
They increase in value as you move up in a northerly direction.
Eastings, and Northings

21. 3 BASIC WAYS TO DISPLAY COORDINATES

23. Examples
(given the place/ countries)
6°S ,147°EPapua New
Guinea
4°N ,56°WSuriname

24. Examples
(given the coordinates)
43°N ,25°E Bulgaria
27°N ,30°E Egypt
51°N ,9°E Germany

25. 1. Find the coordinates of the
places you have listed
2nd TASK:
IN 8 MINUTES

26. EVALUATION:
On a ¼ sheet of paper give the
corresponding geographic coordinates
or the place of the following:
Vanuatu
Romania
Zimbabwe
20°S ,175°W
15°N ,48°E
China
4°N ,72°W
Denmark 27°N ,133°W
1°N ,38°E

27. How important geographic
coordinates are as a
seafarer?
