Visiting+Cadiz

This activity is for 2º ESO. You will work in seven groups of four and one of three students. As you know you are going to visit Cadiz very soon. We have thought about the main places to visit, places with a close relation to 1812 Cadiz Cortes. This are the main visits:
 * San Felipe Neri Oratory. [[image:http://www.bicentenariocadiz1812.es/media/fotos/banner.jpg width="403" height="163" align="RIGHT" link="@http://www.bicentenariocadiz1812.es/contenido.cfm?id=1281"]]
 * Constitution Monument.
 * Santa Cueva Oratory.
 * Tavira Tower.
 * Interpretation Centre.
 * Cathedral.
 * Bahía de Cádiz.
 * Beach.

Each group will select one place and **make a brief description**. This will be **your starting point** at Cadiz. We will go to Cadiz by Bus, so you will need to **calculate the travel time** (including a brake). You also have to select an appropriate **place to stop the bus** and start and finish our visit. All these events must be included in the schedule of the trip. You must study the route and plan the best itinerary. This first step is to locate the places to visit on the [|map]. Then you will have to calculate the time required for journeys (they will be walking at a moderate speed of 4-5 km/h), the time required at each visit and brakes for a sandwich in the morning, lunch, etc. You may need some help in your calculus: **Determining Scale from a Map ** The map you have has no scale. How can you derive a scale for use with the map? <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: justify;">Actually the procedure is very easy. You must measure the length between two points on the map. Then you will find out the actual length using google-maps Distance Measurement Tool. This might be the side of a park or the lenght of a street. <span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: justify;">Once you have the two distances, you can find the scale. For example, suppose you have a map where the distance between two buildings is 3.5 cm on the map, and you measure the actual distance in google-maps and you get 350 m. The scale is then 1:10,000:

<span style="color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; text-align: justify;">As an example, suppose we have a map with a scale of 1:50,000. We measure the distance along a property boundary as 1.7 cm. What is the length in the real world?
