Use the table to answer the questions that follow. Population Change Name ____________________________ Date ____________________ Class ____________ Interdisciplinary Exploration ■ Social Studies Making a Bar Graph The table below shows the amount of freight carried on the Mississippi River system between 1970 and 1990. “Domestic freight” means goods that are bought and sold within the United States. “Foreign freight” means goods that the United States buys from other countries or sells to other countries. Freight Carried on the Mississippi River System (millions of tons) Domestic freight Foreign freight 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 341 360 408 420 490 51 94 177 108 170 Use the table to make a bar graph on a sheet of graph paper. Label the vertical axis “Freight (millions of tons).” Label the horizontal axis “Years.” Draw two bars for each year, one for domestic freight and one for foreign freight. When you finish the graph, answer the following questions. 1. What was the total amount of freight carried each year? ______________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 2. In what year was the largest amount of foreign freight carried on the river? ________________________________________________________________________ 3. In what year was the largest amount of domestic freight carried on the river? ________________________________________________________________________ 4. Describe how the amounts of domestic freight and foreign freight changed from 1970 to 1990. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ © Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Prentice Hall.

Suppose a boat entered the Mississippi from the Wisconsin River and then sailed downstream. Which lock would it go through first? 9. Suppose a boat is sailing from Quincy, Illinois, to Canton, Missouri. Draw a diagram to show how the boat would “lock through” Lock 20. (Hint: First determine whether the boat is traveling upstream or downstream.) 10. Lock 3 at Red Wing, Minnesota, is about 234 meters above sea level. Lock 12 at Bellevue, Iowa, is about 189 meters above sea level. Lock 24 at Winfield, Missouri, is about 143 meters above sea level. a. What distance do locks raise a ship sailing from Bellevue to Red Wing? b. What distance do locks lower a ship sailing from Bellevue to Winfield? c.
