How do we use Geography in Everyday Life?

Compass

• We use a compass to go to a remote destination
• Ex. When you have to find the local McDonalds

Google Earth

• You use Google Earth to see your destination
• Ex. To look at the Whitehouse

Maps

• We use maps to navigate to your destinations like Christopher Columbus did
• Ex. To find Johnny's magical summer house deep in the Himalayan Mountains

Landmarks

• We use landmarks as checkpoints 
• Ex. Using a statue as a landmark

Suns and Stars

• We use the sun and stars as clocks
• Ex. We use the sun to tell what time it is
