Map your Schoolyard is a hands-on activity in which students create a map of their schoolyard using an aerial photograph. They identify features in the photo, trace the photo, color the map, and create a legend. The second part of the activity involves determining the scale of the map by measuring distances between objects in the schoolyard and on the map.
