Lesson 1 - Use the PDF to remind yourself about longitude and latitude. Use the map with the longitude and latitude lines to find out the position of the places Darwin visited on his voyage (you can use some estimation). You might need to use the World map from yesterday to help you with this task. Identify the position of the places on the voyage map in the resources below.

 

Lesson 2 - Lesson 1 will probably take you quite a long time, however if you have any time left why not spend some time sketching. Darwin loved to sketch the plants and flowers he discovered. Can you sketch some plant life from your garden?
