¡Vamos a Ecuador! The 8th grade students just began a unit on Ecuador. Ecuador got its name because it lies on el ecuador-the equator. Just outside of the capital city of Quito sits a monument with a 5 ton globe at the top. The latitude at the location of the monument is zero degrees. During the spring and fall equinoxes, nothing at this location projects ANY shadow. ¡Que interesante!
