It’s Abandoned
Look for these spooky Abandoned locations on Google Maps and explore their wonder on Street View.
Quality worksheets that prompt the student to use the navigation tools on Google Maps and explore a bit closer to answer the questions. There are a whole lot of man-made structures out there that have been left to rot or are waiting for a new life. Students look closely at the remains and complete some exercises to reflect on their investigations.
8 Locations in all are identified, plus another dozen or so that students can search for in their own time.
- Lonely fun park wiped out by Hurricane Katrina
- Desolate industrial island
- Massive empty car plant
- Rusting and bogged locomotives from another era
- Overgrown mill house in the middle of a busy town
- … and more
Very original and includes an answer key.
