Interactive Maps to Make with Learners:

All the learning pages from the photos below are available in our SHOP as a quick download bundle!

Optional for a class- have children all choose different constellations and then create a giant class star map and have each child share about their own constellation.

Feel free to take a picture of your topographic map to keep as a record of learning and/or in case of any natural destruction.

This could be very helpful when learning about animals, ecosystems, and climates. Children can learn about animal adaptations- which prefer warm or cool spots, microclimates-why certain places are warmer or colder,.
