WoW, I just can’t believe how fast time is flying these days. We are counting the days to the boys’ horse camp in September at which time hubby & I will also be going away for a few days’ break.
Due to my 3rd grader’s intense dislike to textbooks & worksheets, I have had to do quite a bit of research into finding material that wouldn’t be met with protest. I have come across a whole bunch of educational games for Geography and have posted them on my Science Recourses page under point C. Earth Science (Geoscience).
Here are some of the best resources I have found so far.
- Google Earth Explore the world in 3D from anywhere. Get the world’s geographic information at your fingertips.
- Fly to any place around the world.
- See 3D buildings, imagery, and terrain.
