Field map Teacher Resources

Students practice using compass and calibrate their own pace, take field measurements of pre-set course with compass and pace, convert measurements into map, using angles and vectors, and make composite class map by adjusting different...

Students interpret magnetic field maps, rotate the coordinates to obtain different views, change the coordinate representation, and produce alternate graphical representations.

Learners create a 3D vector field map of an electric field. In this physics lesson, students measure the voltage inside an aquarium with water. They present their findings and map to class..

Students determine the equipotential lines surrounding a charged object. In this physics lesson, students draw lines to identify areas. They relate the spacing of the field lines to the strength of the charge.

Feel the pull of science! The final installment of this 18-part series is an application of everything learned in the previous high school lessons. Scholars are given a magnetic field map and must propose an arrangement of magnets that...

Young scholars explore animal habitats.  In this cross curriculum animal survival and writing lesson, students view a website about wild horses on Shackelford Island and discuss ways in which the horses have changed to this...

Future energy engineers visit several stations, each one dedicated to a different alternative source of energy. They describe how solar energy is converted into other forms of energy, the patterns of distribution of energy resources in...

Students measure and graph temperatures. In this temperature field instructional activity students use a map to measure and plot field values and construct isolines and interpret the results.

Tenth graders create a topographic map and see how it represents  different elevations. In this topographic maps lesson students read and interpret topographic maps. 

The Library of Congress provides a large collection of maps dating back to the Civil War. The collection consists of reconnaissance, sketch, coastal, and theater-of-war maps which depict troop activities and fortifications during the...

Investigate the importance of mapping to both the Union and the Confederates in planning their military strategy. From the Library of Congress.
