A practical look at how geography works round us. This new series of six titles takes young geographers on a hands-on exploration of familiar environments, and encourages an understanding of the forces that shape our wider world. Step-by-step projects aimed at enhancing children's knowledge of physical and social geography are accompanied by simple text and colourful illustrations and photographs. MAPS AND PLANS explores the world of maps through interactive projects, model making and fun games. The young geographer will make a maze game, discover how to map mountains and construct a scale model of local streets. MOUNTAINS AND OUR MOVING EARTH examines how mountains and craters are formed, how map makers tell how high a mountain is, and how mountains affect our weather.
