Student Activities

Compass Use Adventure

Grade Level:
Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade
Subject:
Social Studies

Students will be able to navigate through at least 5 landmarks in the outdoor campus using the directional signals of a compass rose. The affective goal of this activity is to have the students get outside and navigate through their natural world. I want them to see the importance of using a compass instead of just understanding how to read NSEW on google maps.
