Presentation transcript:

Acceleration: Contour, topographic, elevation, climatic Essential Question: How do you distinguish between different types of maps? Activating Strategy: Have students list ways that we use maps. (Brainstorm and make a class list.) “Could we use a world map for these things?” (No.) What kind of maps would we need? Teaching: Students will create a blank booklet. They will cut out and paste definitions of various types of maps as they are introduced in the power point. They will then cut out and paste an example map for each type. Various maps will be posted and numbered around the room. Students must identify each type of map. Summary: Pair/Share 1s:2s “Describe a contour map.” 2s:1s “Describe an elevation map” 1s:2s “What is a topographic map?” 2s:1s “How is a topographic map different from contour map?” Hw: Elevation Map worksheet 20-C & “Determining Elevation” wkst & “Types of Map” wkst

How are different types of maps distinguished?

Political Maps Usually colored by country or by state Political colors make it easy to compare size, shape, and location Bold letters often make the country names stand out Symbols make it easy to tell capitals from other cities Political maps also name certain physical features, such as rivers and lakes

Contour maps Contour lines represent the elevation at that line. If you were to walk across a line, you are changing elevation.

Contour map

Elevation Maps Maps that show elevation change by using color or shading.

Elevation Map What is the average elevation of most of our state?

Elevation Map of Tennessee

Types of Maps This map represents a small area with lots of detail. It has contour lines as well as natural and man-made features. _______________ This map uses colors to show height above sea level. ____________________________ These colorful maps show lines that people use to divide countries and states. They also show major cities. _____________________ These maps show physical features on the Earth like rivers, mountains, and deserts. ____________________________ These maps show how land is being used. For example, they might show which crops are being grown or what animals are being raised. __________________________ These maps show climate regions. ___________________
