We suggest students work in pairs. Homeschool students can work alone, but will need to complete all three portions of the map on their own.
Once your students are paired up, divide your class into three groups. Decide which group will be in charge of which map (Americas map, Europe & Africa map, and Asia & Australia map). At the end of the activity, groups will combine their maps to make a full world climate map.
