description Interactive CD-ROM activity from the ARGUS collection. The activity teaches about dot maps, pattern analysis, symbolization, and map comparisons. \'Dot maps can be some of the most powerful tools for geographic analysis, because they can clearly show the geographic pattern (if any) of things as different as burglaries, crops, mini-malls, theaters, and UFO sightings.\' This unit will teach students to recognize and describe geographic patterns on dot maps, and compare them with other maps to find relationships.
