Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn the differences between maps and globes.

Task

On this Webquest, you will read a book about a geography topic, as a warmup. You will then watch videos about the difference between maps and globes and complete a venn diagram, using Kami, to record the similarities and differences between the two. Next, you will answer some fill in the blank questions on two Google Slides.

Conclusion

After today, you should know:

Maps and globes are both important because they can both help us to locate places.

Maps and globes are different because:

A map is a flat picture that shows where places are located.

A globe is a map of the Earth on the shape of a sphere.
