TRANSCRIPT
Lesson 3a: Mapping an Oval Earth on a Flat Surface
• One orange * paper towels• One marker * half sheet of paper,
3 notecards
• Cartographer 1: draw the 7 continents on the orange
• Cartographer 2: peal the orange into ONE or TWO vertical pieces, flatten and dry pieces on paper towel
• Cartographer 3: place dried, flattened “map” onto piece of paper and fill in land in ripped areas
Cooperative LearningEach student answers on their
card• What problems are created by
mapping a globe on a flat surface?
• Why do humans use flat maps if there are problems?
• Would you have been able to answer the above questions without the orange activity? (feedback for me)
1.Alaska is at least twice the size of Mexico2. Greenland is as large as Africa 3. South America and Europe are almost equal size
4.Alaska is at least twice the size of Mexico5. Greenland is as large as Africa 6. South America and Europe are about equal in size
7.Alaska is at least twice the size of Mexico8. Greenland is as large as Africa 9. South America and Europe are about equal in size
Mercator – 1500s
• Scale is distorted – especially at poles
• Shape is true• Shows
accurate distance
Lesson 3c: Review Latitude and Longitude• Hemisphere: half of the earth, divided into northern
and southern at the equator, or western and eastern at the Prime Meridian.
• Equator: an imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles, 0 degrees latitude
• Prime Meridian:the earth's zero of longitude, passes through Greenwich, England.
• Latitude: degrees north or south of the equator
• Longitude: degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian
Lesson 4a: Dividing the Earth’s Surface Using Time
• Time Zones dividing earth’s surface using time, based on GMT, necessary for modern travel
• Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) location of where time zones are set from, runs through England
• Offset Time Zones – half hour time zones
Movement: People, goods and ideas move continuously. This is spatial interaction
Region: an area defined by common characteristics
Place: every place has special characteristics that make it different from every other place
Location – every place on earth has a location. Location is defined in terms of absolute and relative location
Human Environment Interaction: People are constantly interacting with their surroundings.

6. What are at least two top oil consuming countries that probably need to buy MOST of its oil from another country?
8. What are the countries from question 7 doing with the oil they don’t consume
9. Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland and England = one country (United Kingdom)
17. Does the region from question 16 have reasonable access to safe drinking water?
19. Which region should be the highest consumer of bottled water because it is safe?
Body
• Define each theme
• Describe each theme
• Connect the theme to an example from page 4, Lesson 2a.
Lesson 6a: Map SkillsScale of Miles
• Scale of Miles - ratio of distance on a map to distance on the actual earth
• Projection - representing a sphere (3D, earth) on a plane (2D, flat map)
