Getting Started with Our Everyday Explorers: Australia and New Zealand Homeschool Geography Course

The Everyday Explorers: Australia and New Zealand homeschool geography course allows students of all ages to study interesting facts about Australia and New Zealand and the history of these nations. A different state or territory of Australia is visited in each homeschool geography unit, with detours to explore New Zealand, the Cook Islands, and Niue. There are activities, interesting facts, and links that can help the student virtually explore the areas being discussed in the day’s lesson. A study of native Australian animals is included in the “Build a Zoo” feature. Activities to study the animals are included and targeted to different grade levels so any age student can benefit from this geography course. Answer keys are included where appropriate.
