On the video it told us that maps do not do a good job showing the entir earth because it's not round and maps are. Every map has a compass rose. Most maps have a key.I am going to use maps to see where and how long it would take to get to places.

I learned that all maps have a compass rose somewhere. A compass rose shows where North,East, South,and West is at. I also learned that some places on a map are not where they are on a globe. I am going to use a map to see where different countries and cites are at.

I learned that a map has a date line and it tells you what day it is. I also learned that some globes have map keys. one other thing I learned is that globes have all the states and contnents. I wish i had a globe I could see all the states.

We learned that maps tell you where is a city at. we uas maps for a tirp to tell you where you are going or you are at.

When the Earth is shown on a map it is not correct because it is hard to show a big round sphere on a piece of paper. I will use maps when I go travaling or when I need it.

A map shows diffrent places. A map can show earth but it is flat. There are diffrent maps. A physical map shows mountins. A compese rose tells people to go east south west and north. A map scale tells people how many miles is to that place.
