The lessons and activities in this unit of work are for the lower and middle secondary years of schooling and focus on how to add Placemarks and how to bulk upload more than one data point to show a broader range of data.

Who doesn’t like the magic of city skylines? I do, and my class loves them and these worksheets on city skylines worked great. The task here is to inspect the city skyline on each worksheet PLUS review the other clue. Then identify the name of the city. The other clue may be figures about the city, the city’s logo or flag, a map of the city’s area, or a logo of the sporting club that is based in that city. The task is challenging and fun, and normally requires the student to be creative in how they investigate the answer. Do I use Google Maps? Do I use Wikipedia?
