Then & Now
🌍 Where things are still decides who gets what.
In geography, we learn about the different heights of places and things. Some things are very high, like tall mountains, while others are low, like valleys or the bottom of the ocean. When we look up high, we can see the sky and clouds, but when we look down low, we can see plants and animals that live close to the ground. Understanding how high and low places are helps us explore our world better!
