In addition to the outcomes found in 2A, 4-6 students should be able to:
use maps to describe the natural and manmade environment in New Hampshire, identifying some of the ways the two have affected each other, now and in the past.

1. make, compare, and explain a series of maps of New Hampshire showing:

state boundaries, major geographical features, and the names and locations of neighboring states.
natural resources that people either enjoy or use to make a living.
the areas of greatest and least population density in the state; determine how the population density of the students' own community compares with nearby communities and other parts of the state.

the students' own community.
current transportation networks such as major roads, trains, bus routes, airports, and hiking routes.  Each student chooses a destination in the state and traces how to travel there from his/her community, estimating distance and time.

sources and areas of current or past environmental impact by human activity in the students' own community and nearby areas.
projects (such as waste-water treatment plants, replanted forests, wildlife reserves, organic farming) to correct or control environmental impact by humans.
current and past sites or systems (such as bridges, dams, covered ice arenas, ski area snow-making) built by humans to control effects of the natural environment on human activity.

4. identify on a topographical map of New Hampshire:
features of the physical environment that first attracted people to the area of the students' community.
features of the natural environment that attracted people to the Seacoast, Merrimack River Valley, Monadnock Region, Connecticut River Valley, Lakes Region, White Mountains, and North Country at different times in New Hampshire history.
