FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between an island and a peninsula in this puzzle?

An ISLAND is surrounded by water on all sides, while a PENINSULA is connected to the mainland and surrounded by water on most sides. Finding both side by side makes the contrast easy to teach.

Is this aimed at a specific grade level?

It suits upper-elementary through middle school, where students learn landform vocabulary like PLATEAU, GLACIER, and CANYON. Younger kids can do it too with a labeled diagram nearby.

Does the puzzle include both physical features and map concepts?

Yes, it blends physical landforms such as MOUNTAIN, VOLCANO, and DESERT with map ideas like EQUATOR and CONTINENT. That combination ties together the two halves of an intro geography unit.
