Map-Making with the MSU Museum

Where are turtles migrating? What does climate change look like across the globe? Explore these questions and more with datasets on the Magic Planet, a digital world map! Looking at the world in digital form allows for everything to be closer to the right size, but what happens when we put the world on paper? Explore all the interesting ways that map makers try to fix this problem, then make your own paper globe or take one to make at home!
