Map Reading Activity - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Map reading. Hawaiian Islands map to orient themselves to the points of the compass, identify the Key Concepts Maps can be used to visualize the geography of a http://explorers.bishopmuseum.org/nwhi/mapact.shtml
Extractions: Map Reading Grades Focus Questions: How can longitude and latitude be used to locate a place on a map? Lesson at a Glance : Students will use the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands map to orient themselves to the points of the compass, identify the location of atolls or islands given map coordinates, and measure the distance between two points on the map. Key Concepts : Maps can be used to visualize the geography of a particular area and to determine the location of a place relative to other places. The map of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands shows the relative position of the islands and atolls from Kauai to Kure. The position of each island and atoll can be identified by using the coordinates of the map to determine its position relative to the Prime Meridan and the Equator. Degrees of longitude are measures of distance East or West of the Prime Merdian, and degrees of latitude are measures of distance North or South of the Equator. Objectives : Students will be able to: Identify the points of the compass (North, South, East, and West) on a map.

You MUST learn If you do not have a compass, there are numbers of ways of creating your own. The sun and stars can provide firm orientation a variety of methods are available for finding direction in both Northern and Southern hemispheres. Before embarking on any expedition you will have to lean all you can about the terrain, equipped yourself with maps, if available, and worked out routes. Memorise the lie of the land, the direction in which rivers flow, the high ground, the prominent features, the prevailing winds, the weather patterns to expect and any know hazards. Check the phase of the moon and times of first and last light-all of which will be invaluable knowledge if you find yourself in difficulties. I case of accident you may find yourself in a totally unknown territory and have to find out everything about your location from the land itself. In choosing a camp site, tracing water and finding the other necessities for survival you will need to interpret the surrounding countryside.
