| Title: |
Longitude and Latitude (in China) |
| Description: |
This activity is designed to coincide with the PEER 6th-grade curriculum module The Jade Dragon module, teach the students how to find locations on maps using absolute locations (longitude and latitude), and test the students knowledge of China from what they learned in the module. The activity is meant to be used as a game. The background story for the game is this: The Jade Dragon has been stolen from its cave and Jace has set off to search for it. To find it he will need to travel to different cities and answer a question in each city to find clues about the next city to go to. The Jade Dragon will be waiting in the final city for Jace once he arrives and answers the question. Help Jace be the first to find the Jade Dragon. The activity is found in the file "LatitudeLongitude.doc" with 3 supplemental files.
If you are not using The Jade Dragon module, this game can be easily changed. If you would like a CD with the PEER curriculum, please visit http://peer.tamu.edu/forms/PEER_Registration/Registration2005.shtml to receive a free copy. |
