Warm Up After picking up your spiral and filling out your planner… What kind of information can you find out when using maps?

Introduction to Your Atlas

Essential Question How can geographic tools help us explain the world's patterns?

What is an Atlas? An atlas is a collection of maps.

Within each of these Maps There is included: Map Legend Compass Rose Lines of Latitude Lines of Longitude Continents

Legend A part of a map that gives information about the symbols used on the map

Scale A tool on a map used to find distance

Legend and Scale Activity Use the Classroom Atlas to complete the activity on page 4 of your spiral. Make sure when you are answering the questions, that you use complete sentences!

Warm Up Happy Surefoot, a world famous mountain climber, has invited you to climb one of the peaks in Europe. He has given you two clues: The peak is higher than Mount Olympus (C-6) BUT not as high as Grassglockner (C-5). It is about 150 miles (240 km) from Gibraltar. Using the Europe Physical Map, what mountain will you and Happy climb

The Compass Rose

Essential Question How can geographic tools help us explain the world's patterns?

Discussion What direction are you facing right now? What direction is the track from us? If you turn a quarter turn left, what direction would you be facing now? Why is it important to be able to use directions
