Latitude and Longitude

Today in Social Studies we learned about latitude and longitude lines. Latitude measures north and south of the equator.  Longitude measures east and west of the prime meridian.  When finding the location of a specific place you find latitude first and longitude second.  The link below has a great game of finding latitude and longitude.  We played it during school to help reinforce how to find latitude and longitude.  Have the kids go to the site and practice finding Hannah.
