Today campers planned a tour for a rock band traveling across the United States. This gave us some great practice with setting a scale and measuring distances. In order to put the cities on the map we plotted x and y coordinates. Some of the image processing skills we used were:

  • reading x and y coordinates
  • using the text tool with background
  • setting a scale and measuring

Campers located major cites across the United States by plotting the x and y coordinates.

 

We used paper maps and digital maps for this activity.

Here is a sample of one camper's work planning three different tours.
