International Time Zones/Latitude and
Longitude
As the Earth turns, various parts of the world pass into daylight then into darkness.
Countries around the world experience the cycle of day and night at different times in
each 24-hour rotation of the Earth. The world is divided into 24 time zones, each one a
long strip from the North Pole to the South Pole and one hour different in time.
Everyone living in one time zone sets the time the same way.
Watch the short clips below on Time Zones:
The map below shows the world zones
In your grid books put the heading 'International Time Zones' and answer the following questions;
1. How many time zones are there?
2. How many degrees does the Earth turn in 24hours?
3. How many degrees are in one time zone?
4. What is the Prime Meridian?
5. What is the significance on the town Greenwich in England?
Now turn to pages 96 and 97 of your iMaths Textbook and complete the questions. The Problem Solving Task is to be completed in your Tracker Books.
When your work has been marked check to see which activity you are to begin with.
