Chapter 1 Social Studies- Geography of the United States

Before we begin learning about how our country was explored, settled, and declared an independent country we need to learn about how the geography of the United States affects all of these things. In 4th grade you learned about all the unique regions of the United States. We will apply what we know in 5th grade and see how these unique regions affected the founding of our country.

You will explore the difference between relative and absolute locations. Label features on maps and diagrams as well as using latitude and longitude to identify features.

At the end of the chapter we will look at how geography affect one woman's journey to California during the gold rush of 1849.
