Land Use Lesson 6 : Analyzing Agricultural Land Use Changes : Country

The additional resources for this lesson focus on access to county-level data in the State of Michigan. Respective data for the county that is of interest may be located on the web and printed or graphed. This may be completed by the teacher or the students if they have the necessary computer skills. The information in This Land Is Your Land available with this unit as a CD provides a useful set of activities as well as an excellent format to apply to other counties.
