Maps/Globes Globe: A round model of the Earth that
shows its shape, lands, and directions, as they truly relate to one another
Map/Map Projection: A flat drawing of all or part of the Earth’s surface. Cartographers, or mapmakers, use mathematical formulas to transfer information from the round globe to a flat map.

How do I use a Scale Bar?
The scale bar tells you how many kilometers or miles are represented in a given length. You can use a ruler or basic math to calculate distance based on the bar’s length.

Let’s calculate distance like we would in math class!
Problem: Miss. D REALLY wants to visit the
Adventure Science Museum in Nashville. The scale on Miss. D’s map of Nashville says 1inch = 5 miles. She took out her ruler and measured her map and saw that It was about 6inches from her house. Using the scale, how many miles is Adventure Science Museum from Miss. D’s house?

Now you try a few…Directions: Use the map & scale on page RA2 of your text book to Calculate the distance in miles between:
- Sao Paulo & San Francisco
- Los Angeles & Medellin
- Omsk & Beijing

Contour Map A contour map has contour
lines- one line for each major level of elevation. All of the land elevation is connected by a line. These lines usually form circles or ovals-one inside the other. If contour lines are close together, the surface is steep. If the lines are spread apart, the land is flat or rises gradually.
