1. 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

2. Cooperative Learning Each 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)

3. Projection Representing the earth’s shape on a flat surface

4. 1.Alaska is at least twice the size of Mexico 2. Greenland is as large as Africa 3. South America and Europe are almost equal size

5. 4.Alaska is at least twice the size of Mexico 5. Greenland is as large as Africa 6. South America and Europe are about equal in size

6. 7.Alaska is at least twice the size of Mexico 8. Greenland is as large as Africa 9. South America and Europe are about equal in size

7. Mercator – 1500s Scale is distorted – especially at poles Shape is true Shows accurate distance

8. Peters – 1960s Shape and Distance are distorted Relative size is accurate

9. Robinson – 1980s Uses curved grid lines instead of straight Shows less distorted shape and size

10. 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

12. 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

14. Lesson 5a: Scale of Miles Ratio of distance on a map to the actual earth’s surface

16. 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.

24. Lesson 7a: Graphs, Charts and Maps 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?
