EQ 3 What are important locations and terms

EQ 3: What are important locations and terms on A world map ? 9/17*

Bell ringer: City planner Daniel Burnham designed Chicago on a grid system. 1. Why do you think Burnham chose to do that? 2. Do you think Chicago is an easy or difficult place to navigate (figure out how to get around)? Why? 3. Do you know which streets are 0, 0

Go over world map labels

Put the slips of paper where you think they should go

Draw this diagram in your notes. Take notes on it

On the map horizontal lines are lines of latitude and. . vertical lines are lines of longitude. The X axis is the equator 0 Equator and the Y axis which runs through Greenwich, England is the Prime Meridian-0. Prime Meridian

Any location north of the equator is in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, written as ___°N (Hemi = half; sphere = globe)

Any location south of the equator is in the HEMISPHERE, written as ___°S (Hemi = half; sphere = globe) SOUTHERN

Any location west of the prime meridian is in the WESTERN HEMISPHERE, written as ____°W (Hemi = half; sphere = globe)

Any location east of the prime meridian is in the EASTERN HEMISPHERE, written as ____°E (Hemi = half; sphere = globe)

We can divide the Earth into quadrants: NE where all latitudes are NORTH and all longitudes are EAST. (quadrants quad = four)

We can divide the Earth into quadrants: SE where all latitudes are SOUTH and all longitudes are EAST. (quadrants quad = four)

We can divide the Earth into quadrants: SW where all latitudes are SOUTH and all longitudes are WEST. (quadrants quad = four)

We can divide the Earth into quadrants: NW where all latitudes are NORTH and all longitudes are WEST. EVERY point in the United States will have a NORTH latitude and a WEST longitude since we are in the NW quadrant.

With the person next to you answer the following questions: h. What continent and country is in the NE quadrant? h. What continent and country is in the SE quadrant? h. What continent and country is in the NW quadrant? h. What continent and country is in the SW quadrant?

90°N Y-axis LATITUDE: HORIZONTAL LINES run east and west measures the distance North and South from the equator. 90°S 0° Label the North Pole 90° N Label the South Pole 90° S And remember that the equator is 0° latitude. What is the maximum possible latitude on Earth? 90° is maximum.

LONGITUDE: VERTICAL LINES: run north and south Measures the distance East and West from the prime meridian The prime meridian is 0° 180° And if you go half way around the world you will reach the 180° longitude line. Understand that there aren’t two 180° lines. On this FLAT map it just looks that way. It’s the SAME line. What is the maximum possible longitude on Earth? Maximum: 180° longitude

Here are some things to remember: ØLatitude is written first and must always include N (north) or S (south) of the equator. ØLongitude is written next and must always include E (east) or W (west) of the prime meridian. As with anything else you learn you will get better with practice. . SO PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

In groups: latitude/longitude WS HW: Finish ws

EQ 4: How do time zones work? 9/19*

BR: Read annotate time zones worksheet. 1. How many degrees longitude is each time zone? 2. What are the 4 standard US time zones? Name a city in each and what time it would be if it is noon in Chicago (use map to help)

Go over HW worksheet

WORLD TIME ZONES Fig. 1 -9: The world’s 24 standard time zones each represent about 15° of longitude. GMT is Universal Time. International Date Line (turn clock forward 24 hrs going WEST; turn back 24 hrs going EAST)

Time zone practice h. If its 12: 32 PM on Sunday in Chicago it is 3: 32 AM Monday in ______ h. If its 8: 32 PM Sunday in Cape Town it is _____ in Jakarta h. If it is noon on Sunday in San Paulo it is 6: 00 PM on Sunday in ____ h. If it is 9 Am Sunday in Anchorage it is _______ in Hellinski h. If it is 8 AM in Chicago-what time is it in Los Angeles, Paris, and Dubai?

h. Tokyo/Yakusk h 1: 32 AM h. Dar es salaam/ Moscow h 8 PM h. Los Angeles: 6 AM, Paris: 3 PM, Dubai: 6 PM

BINGO-draw a large box. Then draw 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines in the box to make a grid. h. Put free in the middle box and then fill in with these words: h. Latitude, longitude, Atlantic Ocean, equator, prime meridian, 3 PM, Israel, northern hemisphere, Indian Ocean, Europe, SW quadrant, Canada, Australia, 1 PM, Asia, China, central

Bell ringer 9/15: use pink map What country is at each of these points? 1. 30 N and 0 2. 12 S and 75 W 3. 23 N and 75 E

Answers: 1. Algeria 2. Peru 3. India

Bell ringer: Use pink handout from yesterday h. If it is 8 AM in Chicago-what time is it in Los Angeles, Paris, and Dubai? h. What place is at 75 N and 45 W? h. What place is at 23 S and 135 E?

Answers! h. Los Angeles: 6 AM h. Paris: 3 PM h. Dubai: 6 PM h. Greenland h. Australia

60°N, 30°W 75°S, 75°E 15°S, 105°W Each box on this map is 15°. With that in mind how can we identify specific locations (red dots)? Remember, write latitude first! What are the coordinates of location. . . A What are the coordinates of location. . . B What are the coordinates of location. . . C But what about location D ? It’s in the middle of a box. What do we do now?

US Land Ordinance, 1785 h. US divided country into townships and ranges so that land could be divided up and sold to white settlers moving West A township is 6 square miles Principal Meridians – some of the north-south lines Base lines – some of the east-west lines

Townships are split into 36 square mile sections (1 -36) Tiers are N/S of baselines Ranges are E/W of meridians Sections are divided into 4 quartersections (NW/NE/SW/SE) Survey maps have a scale of 1: 24, 000 (1 in = 24, 000 in or 2, 000 ft)

How to Read Township and Range: h. N ½ of NW ¼ of sec. 19, T 44 N, R 8 E R 7 E NW R 8 E NE NW T 44 N NE 19 24 SW T 44 N SE SW SE NW NE 25 SW 30 SE SW SE
