Activity 5 - Transporting the Orange Juice
After the orange juice has been bottled, somehow the bottles or cartons need to
get from the processing plant in Florida to the store where they will be sold in
Wisconsin. Using a map of the United States, draw the best route from Florida to
Wisconsin. Remember that the juice must stay fresh and cold through the entire
trip. Think about the following questions as you plan your route:
- What type of transportation are you going to use to transport the orange
juice? You could use either a truck, a train, or a boat, but be sure to explain
your choice of transportation. Using a plane would be very, very expensive so
that is not an option.
- How are you going to make sure the orange juice stays fresh during
- What time of year would be best for transporting the juice? Why is that
- What type of land will you be traveling through and why is that important?
