Bridge to Success Grade 7 Unit 6 Lesson 6

hello everyone welcome you all in our classes online ready to success grade 7 we are still in unit 6 using maps today am going to present and explain all the course book and workbook activities in unit 6 lesson 6 how to read maps and signs hope you enjoyed the class if you are ready let's begin now let's start with the key vocabulary that we are going to use in this lesson how to read maps and signs road signs road sign falling rocks falling rocks dunes dune satellite map satellite map conventional map conventional map scale scale contour lines contour lines legend or key let's find out the meanings of some of these vocabulary conventional map it's the traditional or ordinary map like you see here the ordinary map what about scale scale is series of marks or points at known intervals used to measure distances so it's series of marks points at known intervals used to measure distance the distance from place to place it has to be drawn on the map by scale what about contour lines align on map connecting points in line on map connecting two points together but not any points points that have the same height above the surface of the earth what about legend or key the words written on or next to picture map coin that explain what it is about and what the symbols on it mean of course when we do when we read any conventional map we have to know the meaning of the symbols written on the map we can find the meanings of these symbols in the legend or the key of the map now let's find out why are maps important what can maps tell us what can maps tell us either their confidential map or the satellite map why are these maps important in our life first when all the location of places how big places are distance between places we can recognize the distance between any two places using map where things like car parks other important places are how flat or hilly the land is this is very obvious in the satellite map where the sea reverse lakes are as we can see here the sea in blue in either the confidential map or satellite map where to find bridges if our road is motorway or country road orientation how we can find the north east north south east or west of course maps are very very important in our lives and here's some of the points that can help us to answer these questions why are maps import now look at these road symbols and try to guess their meanings in activity 2 in our course box we are going to match these common road symbols to their meaning danger animals think you know this camel is very obvious in this road symbol so danger animals number sand dunes sand dunes it's very obvious car park of course the letter represents car bar airport here also the airplane aeroplane represents that there is an airport on this road falling rocks here falling rocks the last one bus station you can see photo of the bus so dangers animals sand dunes see car park airport here falling rocks the last one station now we have finished activity 2 in our coursework we have matched these common road symbols to their meanings now we need to find out the importance of the root symbols in our lives we have to answer this question about road signs why are road signs very important for example this road sign how can this road sign help us animals could be dangerous and cause an accident so drivers must be careful when they drive on this road because animals can cross the road in front of them and cause accidents other road signs here this road sign can help tourists or people who want to get to the airport so tourists need to know how to get to an airport this road sign chop out sand dunes which can help us to drive very carefully on this road as sand dunes can drift across the road and the cars can get stuck 4. this road sign helps us to find the nearest bus station or past stop so travelers need to find the bus station this road sign danger falling rocks are very dangerous and you can block roads the last one drivers here need to find where to park their cars so as we can see road signs are very important you can change the sentence according to your opinion about the importance of this road side in activity 3 in our course block we are going to look at two maps conventional map and satellite map and answer these questions like have mentioned we have two types of maps conventional map and satellite map which are number one is projera inland or on the coast and how do you know look this map is about fujiera it's on the coast how do you know you can see the sea on the map it's very obvious it's on the coast as we can see the sea on the map if it's inland we can't see the sea on the map for question 2 is the airport very far from the beach look here is the airport look at the distance it's not far from the beach now it's quite close to the beach three what are the darker brown areas on the satellite map look at this satellite map we have some areas which are darker than the other ones what are the darker brown areas represent what are they the darker brown areas are mountains so here lot of mountains here in this area is the land flag or are there mountains of course we know that there are mountains if we can see the darker brown areas so here mountains and here in this area the land is flat how do you know this there are mountains the contour lines show that it's very hilly here the contour lines here show that it's very hilly darker brown areas are mountains now we have completed activity 3 and answer some questions on both the conventional map and satellite map activity 4 in our horsepower it's listening activity we are going to listen to man talking about maps to answer this question is he giving personal opinion or explaining facts let's listen do you find maps confusing you're not alone here's our quick guide to how to use map firstly you have to choose the right map drivers need road maps tourists want maps to show the main attractions and pilots need maps that show important landmarks like rivers mountains towns and cities secondly you need to know that maps have scales and the scales are different on different maps if you don't know the scale you might think two places are close on the map but they might be far apart in reality next another very important thing to understand is the contour lines these contour lines tell you how flat or hillier places if the lines are close together it is hilly finally the fourth key point of course it's also important to understand the signs and symbols and here the legend or key is useful these tell you what everything means they include symbols like car parks and colors to indicate rivers seas mountains and so on so now you know how to use map to make sure you don't get lost when you are in new place yes as we have heard of course this man is not giving personal opinion but he is explaining facts about maps do you think the same or similar symbols are used on all maps think carefully before you answer do you think the same or similar symbols are used on all maps of course all the symbols are the same on all maps why why do you think so so visitors or anyone who can use maps any visitors to country understand how to read map wherever they are if they are in the uae if they are in england if they are in canada the symbols used on maps are the same so visitors to any country can understand how to read map which increases safety and makes travel easier now we have finished activity for listening in our coursework and we are going to listen again and decide if these statements are true or false about maps this is activity 5 in our course listen do you find maps confusing you're not alone here's our quick guide to how to use map firstly you have to choose the right map drivers need road maps tourists want maps to show the main attractions and pilots need maps that show important landmarks like rivers mountains towns and cities secondly you need to know that maps have scales and the scales are different on different maps if you don't know the scale you might think two places are close on the map but they might be far apart in reality next another very important thing to understand is the contour lines these contour lines tell you how flat or hillier places if the lines are close together it is hilly finally the fourth key point of course it's also important to understand the signs and symbols and here the legend or key is useful these tell you what everything means include symbols like car parks and colors to indicate rivers seas mountains and so on so now you know how to use map to make sure you don't get lost when you are in new place now think you can decide if these statements are true or false pilots drivers and tourists should use different maps of course that's it rule the scale of map helps you understand the distance between places like imagine yes the scale helps us to understand the distance between places what about contour lines tell you if places are close together no i'm afraid not the scale that help us to to find out if places are close together or not not the control lines that's false the legend or key of map tells you what the signs and the symbols mean yes that's true now we have finished activity 5 in our course book now let's start in our activities in our workbook activity one which road sign is the most important for this piece one where can we leave the car if you would like to know where can leave the car of course need this road sign which shows car parking we are going to be late for our flight so we are looking for this road sign which shows us their way to the airport three there are only two passes day passes so we look for sign which shows us the bus stations or the bus stop can this car drive through sand yes sand so we look for the road sign which shows sandy dunes thought saw camel in the road this means danger animals so we look for this road sign we are driving through the mountains if you are going to drive through the mountains so we have to be careful of the falling rocks now we have finished activity one in our workbook activity 2 match the two parts of this sentence together contour lines tell you what what are the importance of control lines know how far apart places are or wrote names and important places or from tourists and drivers what the different symbols mean if an area is flat or heavy yes contour lines tell you if an area is flat or heavy two pilots use different maps yes pilots use different maps from tourists and drivers because pilots use satellite maps tourists and drivers use confidential maps the key tells you what is the importance of the key or religion in any map the key tells you what the different symbols mean about the skill of map the skill of map helps you to know how far apart places are good maps show things like yes like road names and important places now we have finished activity 2 in our workbook now we have finished all the course book and workbook activities in lesson six would like to thank you lot for your listening to me and hope to meet you again in our next class thank you so much enjoy your day goodbye
