Unit 3: Mapping the Earth

In this unit, learners will gain knowledge about how we, as humans, have tried to understand our geographic and geological surroundings by creating scientific models and scales, including latitude and longitude, field maps, and topographic maps. This unit will also take a closer look at NYS by examining landscapes that are unique to New York. The unit will include weekly quizzes and will culminate with students taking a unit exam.
