In this lesson, students use a world map to locate and label major rivers and their watersheds. They then compare watershed shapes and look at typographical features that determine their shapes. A vocabulary list with definitions is included. (The World Physical MapMaker Kit link under the preparation tab was not working. The correct link is: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/maps/mapmaker-kit-world-physical/)
