songs
By Kathy Westermeyer

Clip to ScrapBook   
Love the pumpkin idea--that's great! I have taught this using a ball and a song. (Sung to the tune: Jingle Bells

Latitude, latitude
Lines go round and round
Measuring north
Measuring south
From the equator
Latitude,
latitude,
Lines go round and round
Measuring north,
Measuring south
Those lines of latitude.

Then:
Longitude, longitude
Lines go up and down
Measuring east,
Measuring west
From the prime meridian
Longitude, longitude,
Lines go up and down
Measuring east,
measuring west
Those lines of longitude.

Note: While they are singing this

it's very important to have the students actually making the imaginary lines of longitude and latitude with their hands. If you use the pumpkin idea, have them trace the lines on the pumpkin with their fingers as they sing.

Worked for my group!!
