This worksheet was created with material from INFOMAR. Through the example of Bull Island, we see the GIS skills that are used to create digital maps. We also explore the range of uses for these digital maps in todays society.
Strand: 2. How We Interact With the Physical World
Strand unit: 7. Surface Processes (Manage & Interactions)
Suggestions for use: This worksheet could be used to explore geographical skills with classes and also map interpretation skills. Once the basics in maps skills are completed students could be shown the advances in mapping and how GIS and 3D mapping are all around us from smartphones to laptops.
