Why is Detroit linked to cars, Hollywood to movies, and Houston to rockets? Fourth graders fill in the cities and states behind America's biggest industries — New York City as the most populated city, tourism in Florida, finance on Wall Street, and shipping through New Orleans.
Students also match Pittsburgh to steel, Las Vegas to tourism, Seattle to technology and aerospace, and Nashville to music, then explain why the West has fewer people per square mile than any other region. The work shows how geography shapes where jobs and cities grow.
