Connecting the World with Maps
Resources designed to help learners develop a deeper understanding of the surrounding world. We all use maps in our lives, but these self-guided activities provide learners an integrated exploration into maps and the data behind them to see patterns and make connections between the relationships between their communities and the environment. The materials featured in this collection were created by our partners at Esri.

Learn From Our Explorers!
National Geographic Explorers take risks, stretch boundaries, and conduct inquiries to make a positive impact on the world. Through their curiosity, problem solving skills, and expert knowledge they help us better understand our natural world, its people, and its cultures. In this time when we all have to chart the unknown from our homes, we have a chance, perhaps even the responsibility, to be explorers. Successful explorers prepare before an expedition, then reflect on what they learn afterward, and share it with others. This curated collection of resources shows National Geographic Explorers in action observing natural phenomena and collaborating with others to achieve their goals.

Mount Everest
Mount Everest has long been a destination for climbers and adventure-seekers. But more than a bucket-list checkoff, the highest point in the world is hugely important to scientists studying climate change. Scientists with the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest Expedition are researching climate change, weather, water resources, and changes to plant, insect, and wildlife populations.
-
Explore Climate Change through GIS
Global temperatures and sea levels are rising, and contributing to some of our planet's most pressing problems. This can all be contributed to climate change. Explore how climate change affects the earth's systems and human activity through spatial analysis, mapping, and GIS tools. The data shows the Earth is warming and it's up to us to make the changes necessary for a healthier planet. Use these resources in your classroom to help your students build spatial reasoning skills to better understand and take action on climate change.

Protecting Mount Everest: Government and Individual Actions
Students investigate current Nepalese and Chinese regulations related to tourism and Mount Everest expeditions in order to understand what is being done to support the sustainability of Mount Everest. Students begin brainstorming ideas to develop a class-created Mount Everest Bill of Rights.
-
Protecting Everest
Students identify the responsibilities of the government and individual climbers to protect Mount Everest by reading examples of regulations. Students create a Bill of Rights for Everest; then students use their research to guide the creation of an infographic meant to educate the community about protecting Everest in a visually appealing, easy to read way. This lesson is part of the Mount Everest: What Goes Up Should Come Down unit.
