way over the ocean by the help
of the compass.

Lesson 9:
On the next page, draw a plan of
your own room at home, showing
the table, bed, chairs, and
other objects in it.
Lesson 11:

A broad, nearly level stretch of

land is called a plain.

________________________________
________________________________
___________

A plain covered with rich green

grass and beautiful flowers is
called a prairie.

________________________________
________________________________
___________

A very dry plain with little to

no rain fall is called a desert.
________________________________
________________________________
___________

An oasis is a fertile spot in

the desert where plants can
grow.

________________________________
________________________________
___________

Draw a plain, a prairie, a

desert, and an oasis.
Lesson 12:

A long, narrow piece of land

between hills and mountains is
called a valley. A hill is land
a little higher than the country
about it. A mountain is land
that rises to a very great
height above the country about
it.

Lesson 15:

Heat changes water into vapor,

and cold turns vapor back into
water.

Lesson 16:

Water vapor that lands on cold

grass and leaves and turns into
water droplets is called dew.
When dew freezes, it is called
frost. When vapor rises high in
the cool air, it is turned into
very small drops of water or
minute crystals of ice; it is
called a cloud. Fog or mist is a
cloud low down. When clouds are
cooled, the droplets join
together to make rain. Rain that
freezes as it falls is called
hail. If the droplets freeze
before they join together, they
fall as snow.

Lesson 18:

Water flowing out of the ground

is called a spring. From springs
flow small streams called rills,
brooks, or creeks. A large
stream of water flowing through
the land is called a river. A
small stream of water flowing
into a larger one is called a
tributary. The source of a river
is where it begins. The place
where it empties into another
body of water is its mouth.
Every river has two banks--a
right-hand bank and a left-hand
bank.

Lesson 22:

The water rises from the sea in

vapor. The vapor is turned into
clouds, which fall in rain or
snow. The rain forms rivers,
which flow back again into the
sea. Thus the water is always
going round and round in its
long and curious journey--up to
the clouds in vapor, down in
rain, back in streams to the
place it started from.

A lake is water surrounded by

land. The land near the water of
a lake is called its shore. An
island is a little piece of land
surrounded by water.

Lesson 26:

A peninsula is land almost

surrounded by water. An isthmus
is a neck of land joining two
larger bodies of land. A gulf or
bay is a portion of some large
body of water extending into the
land. A strait is a narrow
passage of water that joins two
larger bodies of water.
