Find out what you have in the eight directions from your home or school.
Students observe and record landmarks/features in all eight directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) from their home or school.
For example: North — a park; Northeast — a temple; East — a market; Southeast — a school; South — a hospital; Southwest — a railway station; West — a river; Northwest — a factory.
Students use the sun's position, compass, or local knowledge to determine directions and identify features in each direction.
Explanation
The chapter introduces cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) and intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest). This activity helps students apply directional knowledge to their immediate surroundings. Students can use the sun's position (rises in the east, sets in the west), a compass, or local landmarks to identify the eight directions and observe what features exist in each direction from their home or school.
