From the back cover: "Packed with illustrations, the book uses simple problems and activities to teach kids ages 8 through 12 about legends, scale, grid maps, topographic maps, latitude and longitude, and more!"While learning about geography painlessly, kids can make an enlarged picture using a grid, create a map of their neighborhood park, find geographic and magnetic north, and map a simulated ocean floor using just string and a washer.
"Each of the activities is broken down into its purpose, a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and an explanation that kids can understand. And parents will be glad to hear that every activity has been 'child tested' and can be performed safely and cheaply, in the classroom or at home."
