5th Grade - Mapping and Navigation
Students first explored new areas of the forest without a map. When we returned to the classroom, the class tried to plot the route they had just taken on the map. Next, students designed a new route using only the map. Finally, students as a class tried to follow a printed copy of that map to complete the route they had designed.
