GEOgraphical understanding and
context WITH GLOBE.....
(CLASS 4 SST UNIT6)
If we look at a globe or simple map of the world the first thing we notice is that it is two different colors. These colors are usuallygreen and blue. The green area is land, and the blue area is water.
One way to look at the world is by looking at a globe. A globe is a round model of the Earth. By looking at a globe and spinning it around, we can see all the areas of land and water in scale, so they are exactly true to their real shapes and sizes... Having a true scale is an advantage of using a globe.
