Mapping and Explorers
Objective(s):
1. The advantages of coordinating multiple geographic representations—such as maps, globes, graphs, diagrams, aerial and other photographs, remotely sensed images, and geographic visualizations to answer geographic questions
Therefore, the student is able to:
A. Explain the advantages of using multiple geographic representations to answer geographic questions, as exemplified by being able to
- Explain how multiple geographic representations and geospatial technologies (e.g., GIS, GPS, RS, and geographic visualization) could be used to solve geographic problems (e.g., help determine where to locate a new playground, or identify dangerous street intersections within a community).
- Describe how an analysis of urbanization can be done using different geospatial technologies (e.g., RS for land use, GIS data layers to predict areas of high/low growth, GPS and GIS for identifying transportation issues regarding growth).
- Explain how multiple geospatial technologies can be used to solve land-use problems (e.g., effects of new farming technologies on the sustainable production of food, preservation of wetlands in bird migration flyways).
Rationale: Understanding how maps were created and used allows students to understand the history of exploration and its impact on imperialism.
Evidence: Being able to articulate who pioneered/paid for the trips of explorers will allow students to list and explain the historical significance of maps.
