A. ELICIT: (5mins)
1. Review students’ prior knowledge through a scenario and allow them to think.
Scenario:
Imagine you are flying on a plane where you can see beautiful skies and amazing views, but how do
you know where to go? There aren’t any signs floating in the air. So how do pilots know where to land
their planes?
The teacher will engage the students in identifying or matching the different descriptions of latitude
and longitude. The teacher will prepare and provide the materials need.
Guide questions:
a. Are the lines of latitude and longitude visible?
b. Describe the lines of latitude?

D. EXPLAIN (20min.)
The teacher and students will check the activity together and discuss on how to properly
locate and identify the different places on Earth with latitude and longitude. The teacher will also
introduce the five special lines of latitude.
E. ELABORATE(5min.)
The teacher will give two situations or scenarios for students to identify and locate the places
on Earth using the coordinates given.
Situation 1:
You are an investigator and you were told to investigate in these coordinates: 20 degrees
latitude and 15 degrees longitude. Now locate it on the map Mark.
Situation 2:
You were born a pirate but a good pirate and you are the protector of the seas because the
sea is your treasure and you wanted to protect it from bad people. You received a report that there is
a poacher collecting endangered species of turtles in these coordinates 35 degrees latitude and 40
degrees longitude.
