Grade 3 Social Studies: Comparing Maps

Now the world is getting smaller and more and more we visit other countries. What can we learn about a place by using maps? Is it just about where things are or can we learn more things?

First we looked at what a globe is and how it too, like a map, can represent the countires and geography of the planet.

 

 

Next we set up a little experiments using the desks in the class to see how we can represent more information about a demographic using different types of maps. 

 

 

Finally we should be able to compare differnet maps to see how differnet information can be put onto different styles of map. 

 

 

Now we won't get lost when researching other countries!!
