12 Map Applications Have students create a mapped journal of an historic trip. Have students create a virtual field trip based on a class field trip. Have students create a map of a science process (e.g./ where garbage goes or the path of a can as it goes to be recycled). Have students complete a reflective health project, mapping places of importance in their life.
