In social sciences we have started the topics of geology-science that studies the Earth. Before we reviewed some concepts that we have studied to know how to explain them with our words; These are words that help us to continue learning geography.
And we have reached the base, what we have underfoot, rocks and minerals. In the book we have seen the layers of the earth and the difference between rocks and minerals with examples. We have visited the library to compare the rocks and minerals that we have there with those that appear in our book; We have looked, touched and, some, even sucked, to verify that what it says in the book is true.
We will end up learning something about the relief of our country (for this we will visit the entrance of the maps again). What mountains would we like to climb? From which mountain ranges would we see the sea? Where is it easier to find snow for more months? We know how to answer all this when we study geography.
