Our country has snowy mountains, hot deserts, sandy coasts, flat plains and green forests. People in each place live a little differently. Tap each idea to explore the lands and learn how homes, clothes, food and work change with the place.
Play with it
The land shapes how people live. Tap each term to explore a kind of place and its way of life.
Learn
Everyday example. One place is very cold with snow, another is very hot with sand. Which is the mountain and which is the desert?
The cold, snowy place is the mountain; the hot, sandy place is the desert.
Everyday example. Why might a family near the sea eat a lot of fish?
Because fish is easily caught from the sea nearby, so it is a common and fresh food there.
Where you'll see it
Houses in snowy mountains have sloping roofs so the snow slides off instead of piling up and breaking the roof.
In the sandy, hot desert, loose cotton clothes and a camel to ride help people travel and stay cool.
By the sea, families set out in boats to catch fish — the sea gives them both food and work.
