Year 10 Social Science
Year 10 Social Science classes have been taking the opportunity to walk around our town over that last week investigating the buildings and associated historical information. They have been utilising the information boards created by the Methven Historical Society to do their own research. A great way to appreciate the people who have come before us.
Combining these facts with photos, from past and present, the students have developed Google Earth tours online. A super tool, that allows information and graphics to be plotted on precise maps. They make interesting reading and have initiated the process for developing our own Tūrangawaewae google maps, plotting the stories of the places that are significant in our own lives.
Google Earth tours are a fabulous idea for future holiday planning or to share, after your trip away, the photos and information you have gathered. Ask a Social Scientist to help you if you need direction!
