1. Locate and label the equator: Draw a horizontal line around the middle of the world map, passing through the center of the Earth, and label it "Equator."
2. Locate and label the north and south poles: Draw a point at the top (north) and bottom (south) of the map, and label them "North Pole" and "South Pole," respectively.
3. Use the Climate Zone Key to color the map:
- Hot: Color the area around the equator (approximately between 23.5°N and 23.5°S latitude) in red.
- Warm: Color the areas between the tropics and the polar circles (approximately between 23.5° and 66.5° latitude in both hemispheres) in yellow.
- Cold: Color the areas near the poles (approximately above 66.5° latitude in both hemispheres) in blue.
4. Color the Climate Zone Key: Color the "Hot" box red, the "Warm" box yellow, and the "Cold" box blue.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of world climate zones worksheet.
