pupils (Cartographia 2008)
Secondary school atlas
(Cartographia 2008)
1. Our world: rotation and
translation of earth, other
astronomical concepts
1. Representation of relief on
a map : panoramic view,
cross-sections, contour
lines, hypsometry and relief
shading
1. Representation of relief on
a map: perspective image,
cross-sections, striping,
contour lines, hypsometry
and relief shading
2. Map symbols: legend
explaining symbols used in
the atlas
2. Comparison of maps at
different scales: fragments
of maps at 1:25,000,
1:50,000, 1:100,000,
1:500,000, 1:1,250,000 and
1:20,000,000
2. Comparison of maps at
different scales: fragments
of maps at 1:25,000,
1:50,000, 1:100,000, 1:500
000, 1:1,250,000 and
1:20,000,000
3. From a sketch to a map:
from the school buildings to
a large scaled map of the
school and surroundings

6. Orientation on a globe and
Nature: determination of
cardinal points and
geographic coordinate
system
6. Basic astronomical
concepts: structure of the
universe, planets of the
solar system, the visible
side of the Moon, solar and
lunar eclipse, the Earth and
the Moon orbit, Earth
bound, the Sun's apparent
motion, the Earth from the
Moon
6. Basic astronomical
concepts: similar to the
atlas for 10-16 years-old
pupils
7. Methods for the
representation of relief on
maps: contour lines,
hypsometry and shading
7. Types of Hungarian
settlements on maps at
1:30,000: one street
settlements, chessboard-
