00:09:56,862 how we use a globe. 206 00:09:56,862 --> 00:09:59,899 We can use the globe to find places. 207 00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:02,802 Oh, no, no, no, the places aren't lost. 208 00:10:02,802 --> 00:10:04,971 We just don't know where they are located. 209 00:10:04,971 --> 00:10:07,440 No, we can find them on a globe. 210 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,742 We can locate bodies of water 211 00:10:09,742 --> 00:10:12,078 and bodies of land. 212 00:10:14,814 --> 00:10:16,215 Announcer> We interrupt this program 213 00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:17,950 for this special report. 214 00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:22,188 Reporter> At Springdale Elementary School today, 215 00:10:22,188 --> 00:10:25,324 a class of students had a special lesson on the globe. 216 00:10:25,324 --> 00:10:27,960 The members of the class whom I interviewed after the lesson 217 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,297 were in agreement about certain facts. 218 00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:34,266 One: The globe is a small model of the Earth. 219 00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:37,703 One student explained this to me by showing me a doll. 220 00:10:37,703 --> 00:10:39,939 A doll is a model of a person. 221 00:10:39,939 --> 00:10:42,808 The doll looks like a person, but it is not the real thing 222 00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:44,510 and it's smaller. 223 00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:47,146 The globe looks like the Earth, only it's much smaller 224 00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:49,649 and it is certainly not the real thing. 225 00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,885 Two: The Earth is a planet in space. 226 00:10:52,885 --> 00:10:55,521 If you could see the Earth from far out in space, 227 00:10:55,521 --> 00:10:57,723 you would see that it is round in shape. 228 00:10:57,723 --> 00:11:01,260 Since the Earth is round, a globe is also round. 229 00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:06,532 Three: On the Earth there are land areas and water areas. 230 00:11:06,532 --> 00:11:09,068 The water areas on the globe are painted blue 231 00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:11,671 to represent the color of water. 232 00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:14,206 The land areas are painted other colors. 233 00:11:14,206 --> 00:11:17,009 These colors help us tell which areas are land 234 00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:18,811 and which are water. 235 00:11:18,811 --> 00:11:20,680 Four: During the class, 236 00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,883 the students learned how to locate places on the globe. 237 00:11:23,883 --> 00:11:26,986 This large body of water is an ocean. 238 00:11:26,986 --> 00:11:30,122 This large land area is North America. 239 00:11:30,122 --> 00:11:31,691 It is a continent. 240 00:11:31,691 --> 00:11:34,660 There are many such land areas on the Earth and on the globe. 241 00:11:35,728 --> 00:11:38,364 Most large bodies of land, such as North America 242 00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:42,168 are divided into smaller areas called countries. 243 00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:44,403 The United States is a country. 244 00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:46,906 It is a country in North America. 245 00:11:46,906 --> 00:11:50,843 We live in the United States and therefore in North America. 246 00:11:51,844 --> 00:11:53,779 The boys and girls said that "they had enjoyed 247 00:11:53,779 --> 00:11:55,081 locating places on the globe 248 00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:57,083 and that other people should try it." 249 00:11:57,083 --> 00:11:59,785 I'm going to take their advice. 250 00:11:59,785 --> 00:12:03,556 Here's Canada and here's Mexico, 251 00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:05,991 and this is the Atlantic Ocean, 252 00:12:05,991 --> 00:12:08,661 and here's the Pacific Ocean. 253 00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:11,497 This special report was brought to you by our news staff. 254 00:12:11,497 --> 00:12:14,500 Now back to the program already in progress. 255 00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,670
