Three Fun Geography Links
Jan 25th, 2010 by Alicia
Here’s three places to waste time on the internet this week (and maybe learn a little something)!
- How well can you and your kiddos find the states? Daryl got all 50 right. I didn’t do as well. Thank goodness I’ve lived in so many states or I would have done really badly! Click here to see how you do.
- This daylight map shows what part of the world has daylight right now, along with the way the rest of the world is lit up at night. You can zoom in and really compare how we light up our regions, challenge kids to find places, you name it.
- Or, for slightly different geography, try Explore Mars Now, where you can wander around the simulated space station, check out your bunk, learn about the lab, find out how you’ll handle personal hygiene and maybe take the rover for a spin.
Wow, great links, thanx. I’m tweeting the Mars one – having just wasted a certain not-to-be-named amount of my own working time there… ;0)

Thanks for the links! I quite liked the daylight map, and did pretty good on the US States map (142 / 150) for a Canadian!
