Pairs of students examined paper maps, online maps and globes to see what features they noticed.  They then presented their findings to the class.  Students shared the following:
  • Globes are round, and you can spin them.
  • Maps have a key that tells us what the symbols on the map mean.
  • You can zoom in or out of maps on computers and tablets.
  • The color green on a map often means land.
  • Maps show oceans and continents.
  • Bumps on globes show where mountains are.
  • The stars on maps show where the capitals are.
  • The color white on maps often means snow or ice.
  • Some maps show states, towns and roads.
  • Different colors on maps mean different things.
  • Maps show lots of places such as China, South Korea, Colombia, Canada and Mexico.
  • You can see islands on maps and globes; they are land surrounded by water on all sides.
