 After finishing the first activity, teacher will ask 2 groups to 4
present their work.
 Teacher asks questions to measure understanding. Refer to the 3
guide questions below

Guide Questions:
1. Describe the lines of latitude.
2. What is the starting point for latitude?
3. Describe the lines of longitude.
4. What is the starting point for longitude?

• Students conduct activity and following

instructions/procedure based on the activity sheet.

In explaining clearly to the students, teacher will use a

real globe to identify and describe lines of latitude and
longitude and their starting point.

Developing mastery Locate and identify the city nearest to the latitudes and longitudes. Answer:

ACTIVITY SHEET
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS THE PHILIPPINES?
Objective
 After performing this activity, you should be able to describe the location of the Philippines using latitude and longitude.

What to use
 Globes
What to do
1. Study the image of a globe 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.
3. “northern hemisphere” is that part of the world between the North Pole and the equator. Show the northern hemisphere on the globe.
4. Where is the “southern hemisphere”? Show the southern hemisphere on the globe.

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?
Q10. The location of a place may be described by using latitude and longitude. To the nearest degree, what is the latitude and longitude of Manila?
Q11. Compared to the size of the world, Manila is just a tiny spot, and its location may be described using a pair of latitude and longitude. But how would you describe the
location of an “area” such as the whole Philippines?
