1 Name: #: Date: The Longitude Prize by Joan Dash Before you read the book Use a dictionary, maps, an atlas, and your math student reference book to find out about lines of latitude and longitude. Think about these questions: o What are lines of latitude? o What are lines of longitude? o Why might it be very important for sailors to know the lines of latitude and of longitude for their location at sea? Use the space below (or a graphic organizer) to jot down some notes from your research. C:/Gr_4/Reading/Chal_The_Longitude_Prize.doc [1/]

3 Name: #: Date: The Longitude Prize by Joan Dash Starting on Monday, March 8, all of you will participate in a discussion of this book that Mrs. O Neill will lead. In the meantime, you will read the assigned chapters of this book and will take notes that will help you during the group discussion. Read chapter one, A Terrible Sea and two, A Revolution in Mapmaking. Esssential questions for our discussion on Monday: o What were the some problems ships and sailors faced because they did not know exactly where they were when they were at sea? o Why was it easier to know what latitude sailors were at and so difficult for sailors to determine what longitude line they are at? o As the earth rotates around its axis, how many degrees longitude does it rotate in an hour? o What is the Longitude Prize and why did Britain offer it? Here is some space for your notes, if you want to jot some notes down. C:/Gr_4/Reading/Chal_The_Longitude_Prize.doc [3/]
4 Chapters one and two introduce John Harrison. Briefly describe him. Include some good points and some bad points in your description. What was the Longitude Prize and why did Britain make the prize as large as they did? Space for a Graphic Organizer C:/Gr_4/Reading/Chal_The_Longitude_Prize.doc [4/]
5 Name: #: Date: The Longitude Prize by Joan Dash Read chapters 3, Into the Great World, and 4, Aboard HMS Centurian. Essential questions for our discussion. o What two methods were people working on to solve the longitude problem and claim the Longitude Prize? o What were the advantages of each method? One method: Another method: C:/Gr_4/Reading/Chal_The_Longitude_Prize.doc [5/]

7 Name: #: Date: The Longitude Prize by Joan Dash Read chapter 6 The First Real, Official Sea Trial. Essential questions that we will discuss on Monday, March 29. o Describe the H-3 and explain if you think it could be the solution to finding longitude at sea. [Pages 88-90] o Ten days after the Deptford set sail for first sea trial what happened that hinted that the H-3 was an accurate enough time keeper to let sailors tell their longitude? What did the captain beg to do? [Pages 96 97]. o When the Deptford arrived at Jamaica, what problem did they face trying to determine whether the H-3 was accurate enough? What seemed to show that it was accurate enough? Do you think the clock was accurate enough, and why or why not? C:/Gr_4/Reading/Chal_The_Longitude_Prize.doc [7/]

9 Name: #: Date: The Longitude Prize by Joan Dash John Harrison, the genius/hero of this book. Reading Assignment: The Longitude Prize, Chapter 7, Further Trials of John Harrison and His Watch, pages ] Essential Questions: o Nevil Maskelyne worked to improve the lunar system to figure out longitude. Based on the word, lunar, what did the lunar system observe to determine longitude? o Maskelyne s system was accurate, but what was one problem with doing lunars? [Page 103] o It does not say so in the book, but can you think of another possible problem with the lunar system? o Did the Board of Longitude seem to prefer lunars or the watch? Why do you think so? [Pages 104, 105] o What did the Board award Harrison and what did they expect him to do? [Page 111] C:/Gr_4/Reading/Chal_The_Longitude_Prize.doc [8/]
