Beginning with our planet and its place in the solar system, students will learn about landforms, lakes, maps, climate, time-zones, minerals, mountains, volcanoes, biomes, erosion, and other aspects of physical life on earth. Full-color lessons include definitions and fun facts in the sidebar; goals are stated up front, illustrations or photographs help shed light on important concepts; hands-on activities are fun and reinforce the main point; new words are bolded within the lesson; and review questions & vocabulary, along with any Latin or Greek roots, complete the chapter.
