Oil Map Activity

This activity could be used in a variety of ways and across curriculum. Students could use this in math to solve computation problems. They could even create and answer their own questions as we did. This could spark a discussion about energy usage in the United States and other countries, how we could conserve out natural resources, or the various issues between oil procuding/consuming countries. This is also a great way to look at geography: continents versus countries, transportation distances, or land area and population.
