location of the Philippines to the
kind of ‘environment’ it has?
 What kind of environment does the
Philippines have due to its location?

H. Making The lines that run across the grid -- the flat lines -- are lines of latitude.
Generalizations The Equator is an example of a line of latitude. The Equator is the
and latitude line that divides Earth into two hemispheres, the northern
abstractions hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. The Equator is the 0 point of
about the latitude. Latitude lines North of the Equator are referred to as North
lesson latitude; latitude lines South of the Equator are referred to as South
latitude.
The lines that run up and down on the grid -- the tall lines -- are lines
of longitude. The lines of longitude are also called meridians. The Prime
Meridian, which passes through Greenwich, England, is the longitude
line that divides Earth into two hemispheres, the eastern hemisphere and
the western hemisphere. The Prime Meridian is the 0 point of longitude.
Longitude lines East of the Prime Meridian are referred to as East
longitude; longitude lines West of the Prime Meridian are referred to as
West longitude.

Activity 1: Where in the World is the Philippines? (Part I)

Objective:
After performing this activity, you should be able to describe the location of the Philippines
using latitude and longitude.

What to use:
o Globes or World Map

What to do:
1. Study the image of a globe or world map on the right. Then get a real globe
and identify the parts that are labelled in the image. Be ready to point them
out when your teachers asks you.
2. After studying the globe and the image on the right, try to define “equator” in
your own words. Give your own definition when your teacher asks you.
3. The “northern hemisphere” is that part of the world between the North Pole
and the equator. Show the northern hemisphere on the globe when your
teacher asks you.
Prepared by: JULIET B. GANTALAO, La Libertad TVS
4. Where is the “southern hemisphere”? Show the southern hemisphere on the globe when your
teacher asks you.
5. Study the drawing on the right. It shows the lines of latitude.

Q1. Describe the lines of latitude.

Q2. Show the lines of latitude on the globe when your teacher asks you.
Q3. The starting point for latitude is the equator. The equator is at
latitude 0° (0 degree). At the North Pole, the latitude is 90°N (90
degrees north). At the South Pole, the latitude is 90°S (90 degrees
south). Show the following latitudes when your teacher calls on you:
15°N; 60°N; 30°S; 45°S.
Q4. The globe does not show all lines of latitude. If you wish to find 50°N, where should you
look?

6. Study the drawing on the right. It shows the lines of longitude.

Q5. Describe the lines of longitude.

Q6. Show the lines of longitude on the globe when your teacher asks
you.
Q7. The starting point for longitude is the Prime Meridian. The Prime
Meridian is at longitude 0°. Show the Prime Meridian on the globe
when your teacher asks you.
Q8. To the right of the Prime Meridian, the longitude is written this way: 15°E (15 degrees
east), 30°E (30 degrees east), and so on. To the left of the Prime Meridian, the longitude is
written as 15°W (15 degrees west), 30°W (30 degrees west), and so on. On your globe, find
longitude 180°. What does this longitude represent?
Q9. Not all lines of longitude are shown on a globe. If you want to find 20°W, where should
you look?

A: Equator B:Longitude C: Prime Meridian
9. Which longitude is marked as 0O?
A: Latitude B: Prime Meridian C: Equator
10. What are latitude and longitude lines?
A: imaginary lines that divide the Earth

ASSIGNMENT:
 Bring a world map next meeting

ANSWER:

Activity 1: Where in the World is the Philippines? (Part I)

Q1. Lines of latitude:
- are parallel to the equator and to each other
- form circles that are smaller at the poles
- do not meet
(Students should give descriptions that are based on the drawing and not on a memorized
definition.)
Q2. (Let the students trace the lines of latitude on the globe.)
Q3. (Let the students show the given latitudes on the globe.)
Q4. (The teacher should guide the students in estimating the latitude.)
Q5. Lines of longitude:
- are not parallel to each other
- do not form circles
- meet at the poles (or extend from pole to pole)
- have the same length
(Students should give descriptions that are based on the drawing and not on a memorized
definition.)
Q6. (Let the students trace the lines of longitude on the globe.)
Q7. (Let the students show the Prime Meridian on the globe.)
Q8. Starting at the Prime Meridian, moving 180 degrees to the east or to the west brings you to
longitude 180°. Like the Prime Meridian, longitude 180° represents the boundary of the eastern
hemisphere and western hemisphere. The Prime Meridian and longitude 180° are on opposite
sides of the world.
Q9. (The teacher should guide the students in estimating the longitude.)
Q10. The latitude and longitude of Manila is 14°N, 121°E. This reading is approximate. It may be
difficult to get exact readings from a globe, so estimates are acceptable. Q11. Locating cities
such as Manila is easy. Manila is just a “spot” on the globe. But locating a whole country like
the Philippines may be challenging because the country is not a “spot,” it is an “area.” Since the
boundary of the Philippines (or any country, for that matter) is irregular, we can simplify things
by drawing a rectangle around the Philippines. So, how do you describe the location of the
rectangle? One way is by getting the latitude and longitude of each corner of the rectangle. The
Philippines is located within that rectangle.
