One of the 3rd grade social studies standards is to "locate major topographical features of the United States." These features include the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains and 5 major rivers--Mississippi, Ohio, Hudson, Colorado, and Rio Grande. This week we used Google Earth to "travel" to each of these places, paying close attention to the states through which they pass.. Google Earth is a great tool because it uses satellite imagery to allow the user to pan, tilt and zoom in to any place on Earth. We also learned how to find "MIMAL" on the U.S. map. Ask your child to introduce you to MIMAL. You may find him to be very helpful.
