Part B- Google Maps

Our students are going to find the route from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Fairbanks, Alaska where our students' pen pals live. Students will use Google Maps to do so. We will be learning about timezones. After that, students will be printing off their maps that show the route from Kalamazoo to Fairbanks and marking, on the map of the United States, where there timezones are. As a part of their report, students will need to explain the timezone change between Kalamazoo and Fairbanks. Here is what the map should look like:
