Map Your Planet

Maps can provide us with many different kinds of information, and learning to read them is an essential life skill, as well as an important part of elementary and middle school curricula. As readers explore these guides to how maps can help us learn more about a variety of topics, they also expand their understanding of various science topics — from climate change and natural disasters to mountains and biodiversity. Full-color photographs and illustrations supplement the detailed maps to create an eye-catching design that allows readers to fully immerse themselves in the material.
