YouTube Videos for Teaching Geography and Map Skills

I love finding ways to utilize helpful videos during lessons in my middle school classroom. One of my earliest units in the year is Geography and Map Skills. Here are some of my favorite videos on YouTube that keep my students engaged and enrich the concepts they are learning and practicing in school!  

Pursuit of History: Types of Maps


Crash Course: What is a Map?


Pursuit of History: Map Skills



The Singing History Teachers: The Map Features Song



BrainStuff - How Stuff Works: How Do GPS Coordinates Work?


Pursuit of History: Themes of Geography


James White: Five Themes of Geography Song



Which one(s) do you plan to use in your classroom this year?

Happy Teaching!
