Day 222 - maps and globes

In our geography lesson the girls were each given and orange to act as their globe.  They drew the equator and a simplified outline of the seven continents.   We then peeled it carefully and flattened it into a map.  They learned that some of the land shapes change to fit the map once it's flattened.  It was an interesting and fun lesson.

I just LOVE this idea! The best part is that it could work for a wide range of ages. We will be trying this one.
