      Google Earth would be utilized to show and display where their family unit and descendants are from. Learners would contemplate on what they have gain knowledge of and give response and opinion on how they would like to use Google Earth and we will watch a video and complete activity on Population growth in Brain Pop.

        Lastly, I will create a Google Earth "My Places" plan design and sketch of a family unit journey and outing from London, Ontario to Australia, intersecting the Global Date line. Every disembark incorporated time zone facts. This will be the method and means for our learning on time zones.

        Field trips escort children into the earth and globe of scenery. Class learning inside the building gives fundamental ideology and an unyielding basis for additional academic development of the learners. Field trips enhance the life and knowledge of the learners by captivating characteristic rote education into the actual world. These adventures gives learners chances to make use of all their wits as they get to hear, see, touch and go through the world around them even if it is through Google Earth.
