Discover! Social Studies 5
How do geography, culture, and resources shape the way people live? What can we learn by exploring regions beyond our own borders? Discover! Social Studies 5 helps students investigate these questions through a broad study of world geography and global cultures.
This full-year homeschool curriculum explores the geography, history, cultures, and economies of Africa, Asia, Central America, the Caribbean, and Europe. Through colorful student worktexts, your child will examine how people adapt to their environments, use natural resources, preserve traditions, and respond to challenges unique to their regions.
Lessons combine reading, vocabulary development, writing activities, maps, and hands-on projects to help students build geographic literacy while developing a deeper understanding of the world's diverse cultures. As your child works through the course, he'll strengthen critical-thinking skills while learning to recognize connections between people, places, resources, and historical events.
The accompanying Instructor Guide provides lesson support, answer keys, teaching suggestions, and assessments. Together, the worktexts and guide create an open-and-go program that is easy to implement while still providing meaningful social studies instruction.
Designed specifically for homeschool families, Discover! Social Studies 5 combines geography, history, culture, economics, and civics to help your child develop a broader understanding of the world and the people who share it.

A little repetitive
Kristen F.
I like the information presented in this book. There are options for online searches and crafts. We do 2 lessons each week broken up across 4 days. The only criticism I have about this book is that it feels repetitive when exploring different regions in the world. The book mentions how people settled near water for resources such as food, water or farming in every section we read. I wish they would have given us some other interesting facts about those areas. I looked at the book for next year with this brand and it looks more promising. Overall, the book was informative.
