Geography Action!
This winter, you can bring the diverse cultures and environments of the Americas to your students with an assortment of free resources, including maps and hands-on activities, available at National Geographic's Geography Action! website. Start planning your own celebration with a thematic toolkit that includes lesson plans designed to educate and excite students in K-12 about the natural, cultural, and historic treasures of North America.
Additional educational content about oceans is available on the Geography Action! Oceans website.
