1. GPS system (T) This is an electronic device used usually by drivers to get them from point A to point B. It connects with satellites to provide the user with maps and directions to their desired destination. 2. Atlas (T) An Atlas is a book of assorted maps. This particular atlas was quite large and had all sorts of maps of every continent, most countries. Political maps and two dimensional relief maps were two types of maps that could be found in this atlas. 3. Salt Water (T) The young kindergarten students could learn about the differences between water formations that had salt water and fresh water. This artifact could be paired with a sample of fresh water and the students could compare the two.

How could these artifacts be used to introduce or teach necessary concepts to students? All three of these artifacts would be perfect to use in a primary grade unit plan on Geography. The GPS system could be used as an anticipatory set artifact; the teacher could introduce the entire unit by showing the students the GPS system and asking them what they thought it was or used for. Having an atlas (or multiple forms of maps) would be an excellent tool

1. Inflatable World Glode (t) 2. Compass (t) 3. Floor Puzzle of the United States (t) 4. Sticker Atlas (t)

Taylor Weber 1. A world map "t" - this map is a large wall map of the world. It is in color and can give the children an idea of the location of the worlds land and water. 2. Land mark flash cards "t"- these flash cards had pictures of the worlds big landmarks (statue of liberty, berlin wall. ect) they did not have facts about the places but they present a picture and its name. great for identification. 3. Video about the worlds countries "t"- this is a fun, animated video. it presents a visual of the countries and in a song like presentation goes through the worlds countries.

How could these artifacts be used to introduce or teach necessary concepts to students? the world map would be great to use as an introduction and throughout a lesson by using it to show the geographical features, the map skills and location. the flash cards could be used as reenforcement or as an evaluation or the worlds landmarks. the video would be best used as a supplement to the worlds country locations.

**__ Artifacts/Artifakes __** 1) A mini globe “T” 2) A postcard from Florida “T” 3) A picture of Daytona Beach, Florida “T” .

The mini globe would be to intrigue students’ interest about where on the globe they live and teach them about using a globe and locating places on a globe.
