Where in the World Are We?: Mapping Skills
This video is in the On-Core collection.
"Young students need to have a frame of reference so they know exactly where they live in this big place. In this program specifically, students learn that a globe is a spherical model of the earth. Our two hosts introduce important terms such as country, hemisphere, continent, ocean, equator, North and South Pole and more. Students will begin to recognize that the world is made up of countries, continents and regions including the fact that Canada is on the continent of North America. The program will also give students an understanding of the relationship between climate and location."
"This is the inspirational tale of a small boy's mission to help those less fortunate than himself. Ryan was just six years old when he learnt that not everybody in the world has access to clean water."
