Gain a complete understanding of map reading with our Mapping Skills with Google Earth™ 3-book BUNDLE. Start off by giving your PK-2 students the building blocks to be successful map readers. Make a map of your classroom with a title, compass rose, legend, date, and author. Find your continent and the countries and lakes within it. Then, extend this basic knowledge to give your 3-5 students a thorough understanding of maps. Compare the different times zones found in your country. Learn about topographic maps before exploring steep and gradual elevations. Finally, help your 6-8 students move on to a more complex understanding of map reading. Test your comprehension of a precipitation map by answering questions. Find the highest mountain, longest river and largest lake in your continent. Each concept is paired with a Google Earth™ activity.
Aligned to your State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy, reading passages, map activities, before you read and assessment activities are included.
