After completing the seven lessons in this unit students will have learned how scientists find locations on a globe and use maps to find locations on Earth's surface. They will be able to identify and use the different kinds of maps used by scientists. They will discover how scientists use a compass to record the positions of landmarks on the horizon and how ancient scientists used a sundial to tell time. They will draw contour maps to describe elevations above sea level and use their map to construct a three-dimensional model of Earth's surface. STUDENT WORKSHEETS, an EDUCATOR GUIDE, and the UNIT TEST for assessing student performance after completing this unit are included.

Wow! What an impressive freebie. I'm going to share it with my husband who teaches science. He is the "sci" part of my name.

Wonderfully comprehensive! I will tailor this to use for 4th grade social studies lessons on latitude and longitude. Very nicely done, Mark!

I saw your store on the home page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done! I have a couple of suggestions that might help you to better market your products. First, download a picture or a piece of clipart that represents who you are. That way, your buyers will connect you with your products. Otherwise they wonder, "Who is Mark?" You might consider taking this large unit and offering just part of it for free. Mention in the freebie the complete unit and give the URL to the link. Many TPT sellers use this marketing approach. Also, check the bulleted items. Some are complete sentences and should begin with a capital letter. I know that sounds trivial, but some buyer will catch it and question your professionalism.
I hope you will have time to rate one of my freebies listed below.
