MONDAY SEPTEMBER 17: OUR FIRST WEB INVESTIGATION

Greetings from the Grandmaster Flash of all teaching type instructors!

Today, we will begin with (I hope) a web based experiment. Since we now seem to have a working web connection, I would like you to investigate and find the answers to the following questions:

A) How much land does McDonalds own just at their restaurant locations alone?

B) Additionally, how much land does McDonald's own for other purposes, such as cattle ranches for their burgers and tater farms for their french fries?

C) If you put A and B together, is the total bigger than the size of some small countries? If so, which ones are smaller than the McDonald's empire?

You may of course work together, but you MUST produce some sort of document that shows the facts you've collected, the EXACT website addresses where you got this information, the NAMES of everyone who collaborated on this document.

AND, TURN IN THE DOCUMENT...fer cryin' out loud, I can't grade it if I can't see it!

cheers,
Mr. L


PS If you like this research idea, then it was all my doing. If not, then its Jared's fault :-)  (KIDDING!!!!)

PPS For the size of all the nations on Earth, try the "CIA World factbook"; that might prove useful
