The Study of Northern Europe

Sunday, November 22, 2015

Mavi and I are looking into the different regions of Europe and we started with Northern Europe (of course, that’s our location!).  So as not to be overwhelmed, we only focused on 4 countries:  Denmark, United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden.

The Study of Northern Europe
So to learn about Northern Europe we have the following activities:

Northern Europe Study: Naming of at least 4 Countries

We started off by identifying the countries in the Northern Europe. If you check my previous post (Europe Unit Study), Mavi sorted out the countries in Europe according to regions.  So in this study we are focusing on the four Northern Europe countries:  Denmark (for LEGO), Sweden (for IKEA), United Kingdom and Ireland.

Northern Europe Study: Naming of at least 4 Countries
I prepared these FREE European Country FACT CARDS for Mavi to read.  Things that you can learn from these fact cards are:
  • Capital and biggest city for each country
  • Currency used
  • Language
  • Nationality
  • Longest River of the country
  • Highest Mountain of the country
  • Climate
  • Government

Northern Europe Study: Maps

I created this Europe Map 3 Part cards.  My intention here is for Mavi to easily identify the location of each country without using the puzzle.  The file also contains a blank sheet for him to do his own mapping.

Northern Europe Study: Flags and Plotting of Important Geographical Sites

For a more hands-on activity, I made Mavi create the flags of Denmark and Ireland using LEGOs.  He wanted it this way, rather than painting or drawing them on a cardstock.

I printed this map of Ireland from CIA site and laminated it.  The purpose of this activity is to locate the highest mountain of Ireland, the capital city and trace the longest river.  We did this with United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden as well.  In order to reuse the map again, I laminated it and used dry erase pen to mark the map.

Northern Europe Study: Famous Landmarks

For the landmarks, I printed this coloring sheet from Education.com.  Mavi wants to color them but later on decided to create a replica using his LEGO.

Important Facts About Northern Europe

Expanding our knowledge, we took out some of the fact cards from our Europe in a Nutshell, identified those that belong to Northern Europe and studied them.  So here are the things that Mavi learned:
  • Puffins. We saw a few of them in Cliffs of Moher when we visited the site last summer.
  • Vikings
  • Shamrocks and Celtic cross in Ireland
  • Fjords in Scandinavian countries.
