Coordinate System Basics

This document provides instruction on using a coordinate system to locate places on Earth. It discusses key concepts like latitude and longitude, cardinal directions, and using the intersection of lines of latitude and longitude to find a specific location. Learners practice identifying locations based on given coordinate pairs, labeling parts of maps and globes, and locating the Philippines on a world map. The importance of latitude and longitude for pinpointing positions on the globe is emphasized. An online game is recommended for interactive practice of these skills.

QUARTER 4

Module 1
OBJECTIVES:
After going through this activity, you are expected to
demonstrate how places on Earth maybe located using a
coordinate system (S7ES-IVa-1).

Specifically, you are also expected to:


1. Describe the imaginary lines on the globe/map used
in locating places;
2. Label the imaginary lines on the globe;
3. Locate the places in the coordinate system; and
4. Realize the importance of imaginary lines in locating places.
