About this worksheet
Political maps, physical maps, satellite images, aerial photographs, globes, and thematic maps are the six tools on this 3-page 5th grade geography matching sheet. In the first set, students match each tool to its description, with Political Map done as an example. The second set matches five tools to the question each answers best, such as tracking a hurricane or seeing why crossing the Rocky Mountains is hard. A short written question asks why a hiker needs a physical map rather than a political one. It targets C3 Framework indicator D2.Geo.2.3-5, and the answer key covers both sets.
