Course Sample for Our Living Geography Homeschool Curriculum
Lucy’s uncle and Mother Bunch traveled around the world by ship. Mother Bunch was born at sea and married a sailor, so she wasn’t from any one place.
Draw a picture below of how you travel today. Watch these World Book videos to give your early learners ideas.
Lucy is allowed to play with a globe while she is at her uncle’s house. A globe is a replica of any planet. The globe Lucy was twirling looks just like Earth, only smaller. It shows bodies of water and land.
This globe also contains the constellations. During this time, sailors used the stars to find their way in the ocean.
If you flatten a globe it becomes a map.
If you zoom in on the map and combine all those maps into a book you will have an atlas.
