2.2. Latitude/Longitude, Grid-Referencing, Contour Lines

Lesson 1 Day 4 (24/10/2017)

Lesson objectives

• Task 1: Introduction to Area Reference & Grid Reference- watch the videos below to gain an understanding of how we can use Area Reference (4-figure) and Grid Reference (6-figure) to identify location on a topographical map

• Task 2: Open the document 1. 4 6 Figure Grid References and as it is an interactive powerpoint you need to use the SlideShow function. Complete all the tasks set out in the powerpoint - the purpose of this exercise is to understand what a grid reference is; how a grid reference helps us to identify location on a map; and what the difference between 4 and 6 Grid References are
• Task 3: For revision on 6 Figure Grid References, you can open the document 'Grid Referencing Game' and complete the tasks set
• Task 4: Download and start answering the questions on the document 'Grid Ref Geog 1 p14-15'

Lesson 2 Day

Lesson objectives

• Continue with the questions in the document 'Grid Ref Geog 1 p14-15'
• Go over the responses to the questions in the document 'Grid Ref Geog 1 p14-15'

Lesson 3 Day

Lesson objectives

• We will study the geographical concepts of Latitude and Longitude in these videos and use it to explain why degrees are used to pinpoint location

• Task 5: Download the powerpoint 'LatLong.ppt' and go through the slides ensuring that you understand the information
• Task 6: Download and answer the questions in the document '2. Junior Atlas questions lat long

Lesson 4 Day

Lesson objectives

• Go over the responses to the questions in the document '2. Junior Atlas questions lat long'
• We will continue our investigation of Latitude & Longitude by attempting the questions on the document 'Latitude & Longitude questions'. You can watch the video below to help your understanding

• We will continue our way through the questions on the document 'Latitude & Longitude questions'.

Lesson 5 Day

Lesson objectives

• Go over the responses to the questions on the document 'Latitude & Longitude questions'.
• To introduce our next geographical subject 'contour lines', we will watch a video on 'Introduction to topographical maps'

Task 1: Figure out what is the contour interval in the following topographical maps

Lesson 6 Day

Lesson objectives

• We will finish watching the video on Topographical maps
• We will move onto discussing the summative assessment which will be held on
• At the beginning of our discussion we will focus primarily on how to interpret maps, and then you can begin your revision through answering the questions in the revision guide
