World Geography

In this assignment, students will open up a Google Doc, you can have it printed as well, and fill out a table of some very useful industrial ores. The ores that will be researched are diamonds, gold, rock salt, bauxite, iron, and titanium. Students will research which 3 countries in the world are the top producers of each ore. They will then find and write 2 or more industrial uses for each ore. As they are doing their research, students will also use a map and mark where these countries are. This is great to reinforce the geography standards.

Students will have fun researching 5 unique mammals that are funny-looking and just plain strange. Students will discover some interesting facts about each one, learn how to copy and paste a picture into a Google doc document, and some of the mammals' locations.

The mammals are the Javan Rhino, the Cuban Solenodon, the Pygmy Possum, the China Baiji, and the Echidna.

What can you do with Geography…This video gives some examples of jobs using Geography.

This visually appealing video discusses how the US and Canada agreed upon the current borders.  In some instances they still don't agree.  If you are teaching a class a little bit about how the two countries interact this might be an interesting educational video to show.  The video does an excellent job discussing the facts using historical maps and pictures.

This is a fun video to tour the World and begin your exploration of the World. It names all the countries of the World.
