Activity: Dig a hole through the Earth

Dig a hole through the Earth

http://www.digholes.com/

Here in the U.S., many of us remember childhood afternoons spent trying to dig a hole all the way through the Earth to China, which we were told was on the other side of the world.

The DigHoles web page lets you point to any place on Earth, and find out where a hole dug from that place would come out. Your kids will understand the activity better if you do it with a globe in hand. Find your city on the globe and on the web page. When DigHole tells you where the hole emerges, help your child find that place on the globe.
