6th grade Beginning to map

Map reading is really not an easy skill and one that students don't get to engage in very often.
We are going to take about three weeks to interact with maps. We will learn about how to read latitude and longitude, map coordinates and legends and also topographic maps. Time permitting we may also be able to engage in an activity simulating Bathometry which is mapping the ocean floor. 










The students used the great state of California to map coordinates for places like Livermore, Isabella Lake, red Bliff and other lakes, cities and points of interest.
