Mapping our World

For Form 1 who are studying global maps at present or indeed any of you who are interested in how maps portray our globe, here is an excellent interactive resource. It explores the relationship between maps and globes, and how different projections influence our perception of the world. It challenges the idea that there is one 'correct' version of the world map.

If you click on the banner above, it will link you directly to the website from where you can launch the three interactive lessons.

Whatever you do, don't miss Holey Moley!

Enjoy!
