About this word search
Australia appears on this list as a continent, which gives children a familiar starting point. Antarctica may feel remote, yet Australia runs research stations there, a fact that tends to surprise a class.
Look along rows, down columns and across slanting lines, but never read a word in reverse. Antarctica and Australia both begin and end with A, so they can look alike at a glance. Map and Globe are tiny and easy to skim past.
With the atlas open, students can point to each place as they find it, then trace the Equator and the edge of the Pacific with a finger.
