This is just a cute song to help students remember the different regions! In the lyrics, it includes words to tell the locations as well so that can help them remember locations. This can be used as a hook to get students interested in the lesson or to show after you have taught for a review.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will label each region and draw each river listed in the word bank. This is a great worksheet to see where students are at during the lesson. You can base your review with students off of this worksheet.

This is a great video to give students the overall geographic information on Georgia! If you don't want to overwhelm students with all the information at once skip to the part where it starts talking about the different regions in Georgia. The chart in the video has some great information students can add to their graphic organizers as well!

Students are going to need their own device for this activity as it is an online scavenger hunt. Students will be put into groups and each group will receive different links to this PowerPoint to complete. Once all groups have completed their PowerPoint they will present them to the class. To create variation in the presentations you can change the direction students look on Google Earth or give different coordinates but in the same regions!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Take your students on an adventure through the Georgia regions! Students will copy and paste coordinates into Google Earth and take screenshots of what they see.

This product includes step-by-step directions for your students to follow!

This post is for all the third grade, Georgia teachers out there. That may be about 2 people that follow my blog, but eh. This is a hard-to-find-stuff-for topic.

In third grade this year students need to learn the five regions of Georgia, the plants and animals that live in each, as well as adaptations and habitat changes. Whew. It is the unit that never ends. To keep everything organized with my students because it is SO MUCH information, we create this flip book.

Inside each "flip" the students glue in a (very) simple research page that looks like this:

This is all glued to a large piece of 12 x 18 inch piece of construction paper with a puzzle map of Georgia the students color and cut out. I don't feel right sharing the puzzle, since I didn't make it : (. So sorry. I am not sure who did originally make it so I can't even give credit! I am sure any map of Georgia would work.

It can be hard to find resources for this unit. My county has these adorable mini books that have been provided for downloading, but once again they are not mine and it is a copy right issue. But here is what I HAVE found:

This is a very interactive, fun in-class activity! Students will be creating their own Georgia cookies with the different regions and rivers on them. The students will have different ingredients to represent the different regions and will have to ice and label the rivers.

# data[].attributes.body
Students will get 5 copies of this page to complete over each different region in Georgia. Students will need to write down a few things in each section while the teacher is going over the PowerPoint. They can also add anything they learn from other resources on this graphic organizer at any point! This will help students keep all the information organized. It would also help them fill out their books or study for the final assignment!

This would be a great early finisher for students to start or even as a whole group field trip! This virtual field trip will give students more information about the regions and let them see new things about the regions. I think students will really like the different aspects of this field trip!

The Regions of Georgia virtual field trip takes students on a journey throughout the state of Georgia, guiding them through the five physiographic regions and explaining the relative location of each, as well as their characteristics, economic importance, and much more.

# data[].attributes.body
This worksheet will give students the opportunity to choose 2 different regions specifically to see what they have in common and how they differ. Students will complete this after they have learned about the regions in Georgia.

# data[].attributes.body
This could be an example to show to students so they can create their own. The teacher can use this as an end-of-the-unit project. The students will have to choose one region and make a model of what is included in this region. I think students would really love this hands-on project and would get to learn more about their region!
