Maps and Plane table surveying

Hi Im Anita and Im going to help explain everything to you. This topic is my

favourite, it is lots of fun! Lets start by looking at this PowerPoint.

Click to Open PPT entitled 1. Maps & Plane Table Surveying. Introduction
Activity 1:
Draw a scale map of the room you are sat in. To do this you will need to use a measuring tape and go around the room measuring everything. This will be a birds-eye-view of the room so we dont need to measure the heights of the objects in the room. You will however need to measure the distance between different things in the room.

Lets now watch the second PowerPoint:

Activity 3: Use the method described in the PPT to conduct your own survey of a farm or field.

Okay so we have completed the plane table survey. Now let us have a look at Dumpy Levels!

Activity 4: Discussion
Discuss as a group why you would use a dumpy level survey and plane table survey. When would you need to use this? Why would it be useful? When will you use this skill in the

In order to complete the dumpy level we need to know about levelling! Lets have a look at the PPT on levelling.

Activity 5
Okay we are almost ready to do the dumpy level practical. But first let us watch an example animation in this PPT:

Activity 6: Conduct a dumpy level survey of a nearby field or slope.

Okay we have come to the end of our lesson! I hope you enjoyed it. Being able to read maps is a life skill especially if you plan to go to places you have not been too before. I think being able to conduct a survey is essential to rural life. Do you agree?
