Deserts of the world interactive map
Each 'i' pin has information on a different desert. In Activity settings you can control which deserts are included.
Many words which are key terminology for both human and physical geography are featured in the Glossary. The glossary is available at the top of screen and on the information pop-ups.
Information can be looked up through the contents icon in the top-left corner.
When children are familiar with the content, you can use the Test your knowledge button to see which features they can locate. There are settings for this mode.
Teaching tips:
This interactive scene provides all the information needed to complete other activities in the topic. Use it at the start of a topic on deserts of the world or geography of North America.
It leads directly onto 'Deserts of the world - map' and Deserts of the world. Children can write about what they've read here in 'A desert of the world'.
