Lesson Plan - Get It!

• Are you ready to become an explorer?

Take a virtual field trip to explore different countries, people, and environments. Explore faraway lands as you use the internet to travel. Then, create a project with pictures, writing, and facts about your trip!

As an explorer, you must choose an area of the world before diving into that region's geography, history, religion, current events, and cultures. At the end of your excursion, you will share what you have found.

Let’s start discovering!

Watch this next video to help you choose the continent you would like to explore. Circle that continent on your printed copy of the Map of the Seven Continents found under Downloadable Resources in the right-hand sidebar.

Great work, explorer!

• Can you spot your selected continent on the map pictured below?
• How many countries do you see on your continent?

It is time to choose the one you want to explore.

Click on any continent on this Clickable World Map to zoom in on different countries.

Then, check this List of countries by continents facts for kids to learn more.

When you have chosen a country, write its name on your Map of the Seven Continents.

There are many different attractions and landmarks in every country. An attraction is an entertainment offered to the public. Landmarks are buildings or places of great historical or cultural importance.

You can research different landmarks and attractions using panorama imaging, an unobstructed and wide view of an area in all directions.

If you chose the continent Asia and the country China, you could explore a panorama of the Great Wall of China (below).

Taking a virtual trip opens the door to many questions that need answering!
