The Earth is a globe and we can define our position on it by using latitude and longitude. With this hands-on activity, students can find their location on a globe and describe it in terms of longitude and latitude, using a compass, the night sky and a protractor. Students learn other fun facts like why the direction of the midday sun changes over the year in Cape Verde.
