Regional Importance and Introduction: Lush
tropical islands seem to be paradise for many people.
Going to the "land down under" to see kangaroos and other such
creatures sounds like the ideal vacation for other people.
Researching penguins and traveling to lands that few humans have
seen sparks the interests of more than just scientists.
All these things are found in the region of the world known as
Oceania and Antarctica. We study Oceania and Antarctica
with this last unit of the school year.
