Additional Prerequisites
The map does not show the data for Indigenous lands within the United States without a password.
Teachers may want to go over the information in the Core Concepts section (located in the top right-hand corner of the screen) with students to ensure understanding before students use the map individually.
Differentiation
Social studies or geography classes could ask students to zoom in on their local area and analyze the resiliency data. Students could compare their area to another area in their region and discuss the similarities and differences between the two areas.
Science classes could examine the map and discuss which of the seven regions appear to be the most resilient, which appear to be the least resilient, and why.
