For their next trip to the Discovery lab, Ms. Royston’s 4th grade class will be creating a map of the Chesapeake Bay. Their maps will include the following information: states, important cities, rivers which ‘shed’ their waters into the Bay, and regions that encompass the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

In order to complete this challenge, students will utilize the following websites:

• Google Maps: www.google.com
• Chesapeake Bay Foundation: www.cbf.org
• Chesapeake Bay Program: www.chesapeakebay.net
• National Geographic Map: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2005/06/chesapeake-bay/map-interactive
• Then and Now of the Chesapeake Bay: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/resources/ngo/education/chesapeake/index.html
