Mapping Share-a-thon 50 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.

 

Drawing Profiles

Intermediate Contour Line Worksheet
This 2 page sheet has 2 contour line drawing exercises and gradient calculations that are meant as a stepping stone up to the harder contour drawing activities (where the values are not nice multiples of 10).

Map of the Classroom
Students will create a latitude and longitude map over a map of your classroom. You will need to create a map of your classroom to complete the activity.

Map of Your Bedroom
Follow up activity to Map of the Classroom. Students will apply what they learned in class to create a map of their bedroom.

PowerPoint that follows the notes, "How to Use Latitude and Longitude".

Gradients 1
Worksheet where students can practice calculating gradients.

Time Zones
This is designed to introduce *part of* the basics of time zones as the teacher explains the visuals. Longitude lines, 15°/hr rotation, adding and subtracting during travel, polar view, student questioning based on old Regents questions, etc.

Topographic Maps Activity
I used this as a 55 minute test for my topo maps mini-unit in my class, but it can be used for a classroom activity or broken up into homework assignments. It uses all Regents Diagrams and asks Regents Q's and additional questions.
