180 Degrees Longitude is on Both Sides

     These students are learning about maps of the world.
     They first compared world maps with globes.  They drew pictures of Antarctica as is it is shown on a globe and then as it is shown on a map.  They compared different types of map projections.  They learned to identify important lines of latitude and longitude (and they regions those lines define) on a world map. 
     In the next lesson, they'll learn to identify directions on world maps, and they'll attempt to make world maps of their pumpkin globes.
