| Abstract | What are maps? Maps are representations of actual surface areas of the world. But what makes the use of maps so important for scientific thinking? The answer is simple: Map use relies on one's ability to identify relationships between two things. For example, the distance between Key West, Florida, and New Orleans, Louisiana, is 1024 kilometers (636 miles). In reality, the distance between these two cities cannot actually be seen. A map, however, allows one to appreciate the relationship between Key West and New Orleans through the representation of space, shape, location, distance, direction, latitude, longitude, and scale. In general, some type of graphic representation such as a road map that identifies common directions is used (i.e., north, south, east, and west) or some other coordinate system (i.e., letters or numbers). However, there are many types of maps that provide more information than simply directions. These include political maps, census maps, physical maps, weather maps, climate maps, thematic maps, topographic maps, and historical maps. (ERIC). |
