The core curriculum I am attempting to address is that students will value and use science as a
process of obtaining knowledge based upon observable evidence. They will use this visual tour of different terrains and animals to help them learn how to use observations to construct a reasonable explanation. Students will take the information and observations they made and wrote in their journals to help them construct explanations about the differences of climate, geography etc. Using the google map is helpful because it shows the students exactly where these places are in relation to the world and other countries around them. This gives them a better perspective of location. this also allows them to see real life pictures that show detailed descriptions of where they are at and what they are looking at.
