Content: You
 
may
 
want
 
to
 
check
 
out
 
two
 
websites
 
with
 
information
 
on
 
maps: map
 
is
 
a
 
picture
 
or
 
representation
 
of
the
 
Earth's
 
surface,
 
showing
 
how
 
things
 
are
related
 
to
 
each
 
other
 
by
 
distance,
 
direction,
 
and
size. Maps
 
are
 
a
 
way
 
of
 
showing
  
many
 
things
about
 
a
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
earth's
 
surface
 
on
 
a
 
flat
piece
 
of
 
paper
 
that
 
can
 
be
 
carried
 
and
transported
 
easily. A
 
map
 
is
 
not
 
a
 
photograph
 
of
the
 
Earth's
 
surface. It
 
can
 
show
 
many
 
things
 
that
a
 
picture
 
cannot
 
show,
 
and
 
as
 
a
 
result,
 
a
 
map
looks
 
different
 
in
 
many
 
ways
 
from
 
a
 
photograph
of
 
the
 
Earth's
 
surface. Maps
 
have
 
been
 
used
 
for
 
centuries. A
person
 
who
 
creates
 
map
 
as
 
a
 
profession
 
is
called
 
a
 
cartographer. USES
 
OF
 
MAPS
Teacher
 
note
Brainstorm
 
ways
 
in
 
which
 
maps
 
are
 
used. List
 
the
 
students’
 
ideas
 
on
 
the
 
board. Maps
 
can
 
be
 
used
 
in
 
evaluating
 
natural
 
resources;
