Where AM I? Maps and Globes

Why Are Maps Important? What is a map? - a flat model or layout of part of the Earth Why are they so important? - they keep people from getting lost - they allow you to find things - they allow you to keep track of resources

Globes! - A globe is a spherical model of the entire earth What Makes Them So Special? - globes can show us the ‘big picture’ of our planet – all the oceans and all the landmasses - globes also show us important lines like the Equator, the tropics, and longitude and latitude
