This is Lesson 3 on Day 2 in the Teaching Alive Theme 5 unit aimed at ages 9-11 (Year 5 & Year 6 in England and Wales). It is the first lesson in a Geography teaching unit based around being marooned on Mars. In this lesson we read and write co-ordinates to identify aliens and travel across the surface of Mars. We revise the first quadrant and then concentrate on all four quadrants. Please note, this project contains example videos and animations for school use only.
