Reader Description

Since ancient times, maps have taught people about the world. There are maps of towns and cities as well as weather maps and maps of the seabed. There are even maps of the universe. Why do we have different kinds of maps, and how do we use them?

After you have completed the Reader

On pages 10 to 11 there are instructions for making a map. Use these to map your backyard. Draw the large objects, such as a shed and the garden. Now hide an object in your backyard. Mark its location on the map. Ask a family member to use the map to find the object in your backyard.
