Oranges...in Geography!

In Topic, Rousseau class have been using oranges to help us answer questions about questions about the Earth! We investigated (and then ate!) the oranges and noticed that oranges are segmented into vertical sections similarly to how the time zones across the world work.

It was amazing to think that as we were learning this (2pm GMT), people in Australia had just gone to bed and people in the USA were just waking up!

We found out that in Antarctica (where all the orange segments join together) there was no time zone. Explorers in Antarctica, take the time zone of their country of origin.
