Giant Traveling Maps


Imagine a gym-floor sized map of North America... or Asia...or Africa
coming to your school! These maps, created and designed by National
Geographic, will be available for school-based programs for a limited time
for several weeks in the Spring of 2009 (see dates below). The maps come
with lots of hands-on activities and two of our naturalists to facilitate
the program.
Asia
is 40' X 30'
Africa is 35' x 26'
 
See how 3rd graders in California used the Map of Asia to study its
countries, latitude and longitude...and more.

New for 2009-10!
The
map of North America will be even more available this year! We have
arranged to have this Map from October 2009 through June 2010. Students will
experience North American geography like never before!

this map....
Here is a bit a trivia about the North America Map: as big as it is,
Hawaii is so far away that it can't fit and must be added on as a separate
map!
