| Title: |
Longitude and Latitude--Tomb Robbers on the Run |
| Description: |
This is an activity where the students have to crack a code related to places on a map. Thieves have broken into King Tut’s tomb and stolen some valuable jewels. The thieves have accidentally left a note as to where they can be found. The note is a bunch of scribbled numbers with a short message. A geographer notices that the scribbled numbers are actually coordinates on a map. If the students can identify each city that is found at the coordinates, the first letter of each will come together to form the town where the thieves can be found. LongLatActivityPlan.doc is the main plan with 3 supplemental documents (narrative, worksheet and content information). |
