Internet Mapping and Location Search Day

Hello All:

Today your mission is to complete the Internet Mapping and Location Search Worksheet.  Please submit your answers as an email to me.  I should have your quizzes from last week completed and returned to you by tomorrow.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Copy and Paste the Bold Text into an email.  Please use Google Earth, or Google Maps / Mapquest to complete the following questions:

The purpose of this project is to use Mapping and Location Software to locate University City High School and identify surrounding sites of interest.  Students will need to identify locations, map directions, and mark sites of interest.


1.      What are the streets that border University City High School?


2.      Locate five (5)  Fast Food Restaurants Near UCHS:
(1 each: Pizza, McDonalds, KFC, Taco Bell, and 2 Random Ones)






3.      Identify two (2) Museums within 5 miles of UCHS:



4.      Identify 4 Septa Bus Stops and 3 Subway Stops close to UCHS:




5.      Get directions to drive from UCHS to Independence Hall then to Penn’s Landing, and finally to the Phillies Baseball Park for a fun day with a date:




Extra Credit:  You are the owner of a new fast food restaurant called “WienerDog”.  You want to locate it within 20 blocks of UCHS.  Using mapping software and Google Earth, select a site near the school that is not within 3 blocks of a competing fast food store.  You might also want to be close to transportation.  You must also identify the route from a major highway that delivery trucks will use.  You may build on any vacant lot or parking lot you find, but you must not build anywhere where there are existing buildings.  What is your new address?

Email me the Link to showing the mapquest address of your site.


Good Luck,
Mr. S
