  • Students choose and check model parts that represent flat land, a hill, a pond, and a creek.
  • Students draw a labeled map showing the shapes and positions of land and water in an area.

How to use

Read the notes and survey table together. Let students use paper shapes or dough to try their model ideas before drawing the final map.

Land and Water Beside the Lacrosse Field

Use survey data to plan, check, and draw a map.

Read the Survey Data

Use the notes and table to learn about the area. Top, bottom, left, and right tell where things belong on the paper map.

A Map for the Team

The lacrosse team wants a map of the land and water around its practice field. A survey team studies the area and records what each part looks like from above. The team also notes where the ground is flat or raised. Its table will help students make a small model and a paper map.

The table gives shapes and places, but it does not give distances or water depths. All spaces not named in the table are dry, flat ground. A strip of dry ground separates the pond from the creek. Students will plan pretend routes on paper, not walk near the water.

Survey Table
Place | Surface and shape | Position on the map
Practice field | Dry, flat ground with a rectangular outline | In the center
Hill | Dry ground rising in a low, rounded mound | To the right of the field
Pond | Water with an oval outline, wider from left to right | Above the field
Creek | A long, narrow band of water with a bend | Down the left edge, then right along the bottom; it ends directly below the center of the field
1.
Which view would best help students place all four parts on a paper map?
  • A. Looking up from the bottom of the hill
  • B. Looking closely at the grass on the field
  • C. Looking down over the whole area
  • D. Looking across the surface of the pond
