II. LEARNING CONTENT:
A. Topic: Locating the Philippines using coordinate system.
1. Concepts:
In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the
north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude is an
angle which ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles while
Longitude is a coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point
on the Earth's surface ranging from 0° at the Prime Meridian to +180°
eastward and −180° westward.
2. Skills:
Trace the location of different places in the map.
Collaborate with other learners using critical thinking.
3. Values:
Following instructions, patience, cooperation and appreciate the
importance of locating places on earth using coordinate system.
B. Instructional Materials: Laptop, PowerPoint presentation, multimedia

COMPASS COMPARISON
● Individually, look at the two main types of compasses to the right and identify the
differences and similarities between the two.
Key Vocabulary
● Compass Rose
○ A compass rose shows the direction on a map
● Cardinal Directions
○ Cardinal directions are the 4 main directions: North, South, East, and West
● Intermediate Directions
○ Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest
MERIDIANS OF LONGITUDE:
● Lines that run north and south but measure east and west from the Prime Meridian
○ Prime Meridian
■ 0 degrees longitude that divides the Earth into the EASTERN AND
WESTERN HEMISPHERES
PARALLELS OF LATITUDE:
● Lines that run east and west but measure north and south from the equator
○ Equator
■ 0 degrees latitude that divides the Earth in NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
HEMISPHERES
G. ASSESSMENT
