Cartographic teaching material
Cartographic media for school lessons are didactically and methodically prepared, scaled-down, constructive-graphic or photographic, two- or three-dimensional plan or oblique images of the surface of the earth, which are constructed on the basis of a certain selection or conceptual designation of the objects to be represented, taking into account geometric laws and spatial Clarify positional relationships.
According to this overarching term, a distinction is made between:
- Maps (in the narrower sense = scaled down two-dimensional - leveled -, generalized, predominantly symbolic and content-related floor plan images or top view images of the earth's surface)
- Map-related representations (e.g. globes, cartographic relief models, 3D maps, aerial photographs, picture maps, map diagrams), i.e. "maps in the broader sense"
- Aerial / satellite image maps as "cartographically printed, illustrated vertical photographs of geospaces".
The analog teaching materials can also be structured according to their form of publication:
- Hand cards
- Atlases
- Textbook cards
- Wall and poster cards
- Projection slide cards
- Demonstration and hand globes
(Digital cartographic teaching materials - e.g. CD ROM and DVD versions - are not shown broken down.)
