In this classroom activity, students cut apart a plastic soda bottle and create a planar (polar) and a cylindrical (Mercator) projection to understand the challenges of creating maps of the Earth. The printable handout includes a series of inquiry-based questions to get students thinking about the challenges of mapping a spherical object like the Earth, detailed activity directions and a worksheet that helps students use the activity results to understand how polar and Mercator projections are created and how both distort their subjects.
