Where in the USA is everyone from?

Description
This project is designed to investigate population flows in the United States. Students will conduct a survey to find out how many students in their classes are natives to their state and what states the non-natives are from. They will also collect data about why people are moving into their state and whether or not they plan to stay there. Students will compile the data from the surveys and organize and analyze the data using graphs, charts, spreadsheets and maps.
