00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,860
Unit 4, Social Science, Our World. We're all connected.

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,660
The world is divided into seven continents.

3
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:15,439
A continent is one of several very large land masses.

00:00:16,399 --> 00:00:26,460
The seven continents include Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica.

5
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:32,560
There are 195 countries in the world.

6
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:38,299
The continents are divided into 195 different countries.

7
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:44,000
A country is a nation or an area of land with its own government.

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,259
Some countries are bigger than others.

You live in the country of Spain, which is part of the Europe continent.

10
00:00:52,619 --> 00:00:57,859
Which countries can you see on this map?

11
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:05,049
Map, Atlas, and Globe

12
00:01:05,049 --> 00:01:12,269
A map, an atlas, or a globe give us different information about continents and oceans.

13
00:01:12,269 --> 00:01:17,629
A map is a drawing of the Earth's surface or an area of land or sea.

14
00:01:17,629 --> 00:01:21,250
An atlas is a book of maps or charts.

00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:24,430
A globe is a picture drawn on a sphere.

00:01:24,430 --> 00:01:29,760
A sphere is a rounded object.

17
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,299
Are all maps the same?

18
00:01:32,299 --> 00:01:39,359
Maps also give us information about landscapes, country borders, and capital cities.

19
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:43,640
We are going to learn about two different types of maps.

20
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:50,980
A physical map shows landscapes like mountains and bodies of water like oceans and seas.

21
00:01:50,980 --> 00:01:57,060
A political map shows the government borders of countries, states, and the location of

22
00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:00,739
capital cities.

23
00:02:00,739 --> 00:02:05,519
Political Maps A physical map shows landforms, bodies of

24
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:15,759
water, and geographical features such as mountains, deserts, highlands, lakes, rivers, and oceans.

25
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:19,699
Political Maps A political map shows the government borders

26
00:02:19,699 --> 00:02:25,060

00:02:30,659 --> 00:02:33,740
Each country has a capital city.

29
00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:36,919
The capital of Spain is Madrid.

30
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:43,039
The red line dividing the USA from Mexico is a border.

31
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:44,860
What's a key?

32
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:50,960
Some maps give us more details and help us find places we want to go.

33
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,300
A maqui helps us understand the information.

34
00:02:56,300 --> 00:03:03,280
