CREATE YOUR OWN MAP!

Create a map of a place you love. Maybe this is your house, your room, the school, a park, the mall, a city, state, country, anything!

MAPS!Different kinds, projections and more!

WHAT EVERY MAP NEEDS

T – Title (relating to subject of map) O – Orientation (directions/compass rose) D – Date (when the map was drawn) A – Author (who made the map) L – Legend (What symbols on the map mean) S – Scale (The size of space on the map)

COMPASS – N, E, S, W North East South West

MAP STATIONS

In groups of 4, start at the station you are assigned to. You will have 7 min per station to get all the questions

answered. Make sure you are on the correct page when answering

the questions – each station is different! “MAP QUESTIONS” – look at the map in the folder to

answer these. “QUESTIONS ABOUT MAP TYPE” – look at paragraphs

to answer these.

MAP PROJECTIONS - MERCATOR

Designed as a navigation tool Perfect for “true” direction Oldest map projections used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8zBC2dvERM

MAP PROJECTIONS- MOLLWEIDE PROJECTION Sacrifices accuracy of angle and shape of land to show

accurate proportions in area. Equal area map

GOODE’S HOMOLOSINE EQUAL AREA Emphasizes world land mass and oceans. Very little distortion (of Continents). Direction /distance is NOT accurate.

PROJECTIONS – ROBINSON

Distortions near the polls only. Visually appealing map
