I thought this was pretty cool! My Dad (who is a 5th grade teacher) sent this to me. I was always pretty good at Geography, but found I was a little rusty! :lol:

I ended up with a score of: 86% correct placement; Average Error 28 miles; completed in 360 seconds (6 minutes). Not bad.

All you have to do is place the state by dragging and dropping onto the correct location on the blank US map.

Try it! Place the State (http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/states_experiment_drag-drop_Intermed_State15s_500.html)
