Presentation transcript:

EQ: How does one distinguish between the different types of maps? 7.3.spi.14. Distinguish between types of maps.  (i.e., political, physical, climatic, land-use resource, contour, elevation, and topographic). Activating Strategy: Students will be asked to list 5 reasons they would need a map. Students will be asked how they know which one to use for different types of information. Which one should I look at to determine what resources an area has? Climate? Elevation? Teaching Strategies: - Students will make a flipbook on the different types of maps and record notes from the PowerPoint. (Need 4 sheets of paper.) After we complete our notes on the first two maps, students will break up into teams and do a pair/share activity. - AP #1: Pair/Share: “Describe a political map. When would you use a political map?" “Describe a physical map. Why would someone need to use a physical map?" AP #2: A note to a student moving here from another country: "What kind of map would I look at to find out the weather in Tennessee?" "How would a topographical map help me find out if my new house is on a hill or in a valley?“ AP #3: Compare and contrast with a Venn Diagram: “How is a contour map similar and different from that of an elevation map?’ - Students will complete the Maps Handout. Summarizing Strategy: Ticket Out the Door Students will number 1-11 on a sheet of paper and will be instructed to look at pictures from the last 11 slides of the Power point to determine whether each picture is political, physical, climatic, land-use resource, contour, elevation, topographic, or a combination of more than one. Homework: Finish the Map Handout if not completed in class.

Why do you use maps? Think of 5 reasons that you would need a map (so I know where I am going is not an answer I want you to have on your list.)

How do you distinguish between different types of maps? SS. Standard: 7.3.spi.14. Distinguish between types of maps.  (i.e., political, physical, climatic, land-use resource, contour, elevation, and topographic).

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

World Political Map

Physical Map Has colors that make natural patterns stand out The colors on the map can stand for types of vegetation, mountain, and natural features Names of big natural features are easy to see Physical maps also include some political information, such as boundaries

World Physical Map

Pair/Share 1’s tell 2’s Describe a political map. When would you use a political map? 2’s tell 1’s Describe a physical map. Why would someone need to use a physical map?

Climate Map The climate of a place is the weather it has season by season, year after year Rainfall and temperature are climate’s main ingredients Climate is affected by elevation, distance from the ocean, and latitude

World Climate Map

Land Use Resource Map These maps show how land is being used. This might refer to: vegetation crops being grown forest vs. Agriculture mines and wells city zoning

Topographic Map These maps generally represent a small area with a lot of detail. They show elevation with contour lines, natural and man-made features.

Topographic Map

What kind of map would I look at to find out the weather in Tennessee? A new student is moving to Tennessee and is curious about a few things. Please write him a one paragraph letter answering his questions. How would a topographical map help me find out if my new house is on a hill or in a valley? What kind of map would I look at to find out the weather in Tennessee?

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

Elevation Map What is the elevation of the San Joaquin Valley?

Elevation Map

How is a contour map similar and different from that of an elevation map? Contour map Elevation map
