Mapping Share-a-thon 54 Files

A share-a-thon is a place where teachers can voluntarily upload their files for other teachers to use. When a teacher submits a file, it is catalogued and placed into a database.

 

Topo Map Field Work
I use this lab to have my students construct topo maps on our campus. The students walk a trail, record elevations and then use those elevations to construct a topo map. Make sure that you choose varied terrain for the best effect.

Topographic Maps - Contour Line Intrepretation
Students are required to match simple topographic map contour lines to their correct cross-sectional profile.

Latitude and Longitude using ESRT pages 4 & 5
Students will use pages 4 and 5 of their ESRT's to demonstrate their knowledge of latitude and longitude

topographic Map worksheet
Worksheet that you can use to help explain how to do profiles

Explore digital elevation contour and geographic information system maps, biology, archeology & Maya Forest Garden research
Completed by Dr. Anabel Ford and others of the MesoAmerican Resaerch Center, UCSB. The data sources are indicated on the individual layers. Compiled and processed in GIS from various data sources including text, images and a digital elevation

The Great NYS Race
Students compete against each other while using their Earth Science Reference Table to determine locations in NYS. I used coordinates for each city from previous Regents exams. Have fun.

Mapping Wind Storms
The students will map a windstorm of one of four types: hurricane, tornado, winter storm or derecho. The students will learn about the four major types of wind storms.

Sample Map for Mapping Wind Storms
This map shows the most major wind storm of each of the four types - hurricane, tornado, winter storm, and derecho, to hit the United States in the last 100 years.
