 | Swim into Social Studies 3 1.2 | | "Swim into Social Studies 3" is divided into seven sections:
1. Understanding the Globe.

5. Whale Watching
6. Vocabulary

- History: Students are introduced to the purpose and importance of history. Written records (ship?s logs), fossils (paleontology), environmental issues (pollution), endangered animals (whales), and myths (unicorn, Moby Dick) help give students an idea of what is involved in interpreting historical events.
- Whale Watching: This section is designed to make students more aware of the major and subtle differences of things in the world around them. The main emphasis is discrimination skills. Students go on a whale watching expedition to enhance their discrimination skills.
- Vocabulary: Students have fun with the language of social studies. Terms used in map reading, compass, and history are reviewed through interactive games. Concept words (up/down, near/far, etc.) and comparative words (small, smaller, smallest) become an integral part of communicating in social studies. Reading a sentence and knowing where to find the information being communicated is introduced in a game format.

1. N, S, E, W Level: A & B
2. Picture Grid Level: A & B
3. Globe Explorer
4. Memory Game Level: A & B
