What is a plan?
If you look at the surface of the Earth from a great height, you will see houses, streets, fields and forests. A planplanplan depicts a small area or another object viewed from above after applying appropriate reduction in size. Plans usually show small areas, e.g., cities, villages or even individual neighborhoods and buildings. On a plan we can see, in great detail, the area we are interested in. Its surface is often divided into squares marked with letters and numbers. This makes it easier to find, for example, the street or other places you are looking for. On the back of a plan there is usually a list of streets and other characteristic points of a given town or area.
What is a map?
A mapmapmap is the image of the Earth's surface (or part of it) seen from above, which is depicted in reduced size on a plane and by means of graphic symbols. Contrary to a plan, it can show both large areas, e.g., countries, continents or the entire surface of the Earth, and small areas, e.g., villages. Unlike a plan, a map always has a graticule. Its upper edge usually represents the north. However, it is difficult to present all the objects on a map, as it would become completely illegible. If you want to get a more detailed picture, you use plans.
Because our planet has a shape similar to that of a sphere, it is not possible to present its surface perfectly on a plane. Distortions, such as in the shape of continents, can therefore occur on maps showing large areas.
Presentation of the Earth's surface on a plane
Observation 1
Checking if it is possible to show the surface of a sphere on a plane.
You will need
orange,
knife,
marker pen.
Instruction
Draw a triangle on the surface of the orange so that the length of each side is 2 cm.
Ask an adult to peel the orange so that the triangle is intact.
Try to place the piece of the peel with the drawn triangle so that its entire surface rests on the table. Can this be done without damaging the skin? If you manage to press the peel this way, will the triangle still have the same shape?
Task 1
Before you watch the movie „Map on oranges”, write down the research question and the hypothesis. Note your observations while watching the movie, and finally – note conclusions.

A map can depict various objects, phenomena or even processes. These can include, for example, land relief, location of fields, forests and houses, as well as the location of industrial plants and areas where different species of animals and plants can be found.

Wyjaśnij, w jaki sposób można wykorzystać w codziennym życiu zawarte w abstrakcie informacje.
Many towns have a board with a town plan. The ‘you are here’ point marked on it corresponds to the place where the board is placed. Would it be possible to locate the place we are at without such a clue? Justify your answer.

Summary
A plan is an image of a small area seen from above with an appropriate reduction in size.
A map differs from a plan in that it contains a graticule and is usually oriented so that its upper edge determines the north.
