SC MAPS is designed to introduce students in grades 7-9 to South Carolina's intriguing landscape by using high altitude aerial photography, satellite imagery, topographic maps, other special purpose maps. It's a balanced, supplementary curriculum that encourages students to examine the natural and cultural history and landscapes of the state. The maps and curriculum activities were chosen to provide statewide and regional perspectives centered around unique geological features in the state.
Study activities include history, geography, geology, ecology, earth science, development trends, and environmental issues. Teachers must participate in a SC MAPS workshop to obtain an activity guide.
