How to Teach with Topographic Maps

by Dana Van Burgh

Student activities explore longitude and latitude, the concept of scale, terrain changes, and how to use the maps for environmental studies. One engaging way to have students utilize these skills is to have them create a topographic map of their own schoolyard. Bonus items include an actual topographic map from the U.S. Geological Survey, and a detailed booklet explaining map symbols.
