This project is part of Investigating Your World With My World GIS, a set of activities designed for use with My World GIS software. Each activity was developed by an active curriculum developer and user of My World GIS in K-12 and higher education. The set of activities was designed to span a range of curricular areas and grade levels and to use the powerful features of My World GIS to help students learn key content and practice spatial problem solving. To access the full set of activities and project overview, go to www.natgeoed.org/myworldgis.

This project has two downloadable parts, found in the resource carousel above. The first is a PDF with student instructions, answer sheets, answer keys, and instructor notes. The second is a data file for use with the activity.
