Watery Earth Lesson 9 - Finding Bodies of Water on Maps

5/20/2015

0 Comments

 
  • What bodies of surface water did you find while examining the three maps?
  • Were there any types of surface water on the Arlington Heights map that you weren’t able to find on the Illinois map? If so, why?
  • Were there any types of surface water on the Illinois map that you couldn’t find on the United States map? If so, why?
  • What are some names of the bodies of water in Illinois and Arlington Heights? What bodies of water did you identify?
  • Well I found Bays Chanel, Lakes, and Rivers. It was hard to find anything else because we did not have a world map.
  • Yes Westgate park is a lake that I found on the Arlington Heights map and not on the Illinois map because it is a small lake. If I did see it on the Illinois map it would be a really big lake.
  • Yes The Illinois river I only saw on the Illinois map because the U.S.A map is zoomed out more.
  • I did not find any on the Illinois map that I found on the Arlington Heights.
