This is one of a series which provides an activity-based introduction to geography, with concepts introduced gradually and simply. The activities aim to be both straightforward and enjoyable, and range from building a gushing geyser to designing a Treasure Island map and making a sundial. Panel boxes show real-life analogies, such as showing how toffee sets hard, to illustrate how lava turns to rock. Focusing on maps and mapping, this volume starts by explaining what maps are and why they are used. From making a simple plan of a room, the book proceeds to introduce individual features of a map, such as scale, contours and the use of colour and symbols. It then looks at the way in which cartographers work, using compasses, map grids, and latitude and longititude.
