March 4

Today we continued learning about cartography. That means making and using maps. Today we created maps of Whispering Woods.  Mapping was challenging because it was tricky to orient ourselves and there were so many things to add! It was tough to decide what to draw first.


Cartography is important for zoologists because when they are out looking for animals or animal clues they need to know where they are going. They need to be able to mark the places where they find clues or animals on the map so they can find it again. Maps are a good way for zoologists to share their discoveries with other people.
