In this standard, you need to explore a real geographic area (like a local park, wetland, or orchard) by using data you've collected or been given. You'll describe what the data tells you about the place, and explain how useful—and what limitations—that data has for understanding the environment. This is about being curious about places and thinking critically about what information can actually tell you.
