1. Interview a group of 5-, 6-, and 7-year-old children to determine their concepts of land and water. You might ask them to observe a dish with a small amount of water placed in the sun early in the day and again at the end of the day. Ask them what happened to the water. You might do the same with things that float and sink, dissolve, or change form.
2. Working with a small group of children, ask them to construct a map of their classroom with blocks. How do the children indicate understandings of the basic concepts of mapping: representation, symbolization, perspective, and scale?
3. Strengthen your own concepts of geography by reviewing the national geography standards. Which of these standards do you understand? Which could you learn more about?
4. Take a walk around a school’s neighborhood. What land forms do you observe? What are the physical characteristics of the area that make it unique? Design a learning experience for primary children based on your findings.

1. Observe in a classroom. Record any observations of teachers’ modeling of democratic values. What instances can you find of teachers sharing control with children, respecting each child, encouraging children to speak freely and have opinions, and fostering children’s willingness to participate in the workings of the group?
2. Research the flag of the United States. What did you learn that you did not know before? Research a flag from another country. What do the symbols mean? What do the colors stand for? What does this tell you about that country, its history, and its values?
3. Interview young children about a particular political concept, such as voting or the president. What basic understandings do they have? What misconceptions?
4. Hold a class meeting to discuss classroom rules. What do the children understand about rules? What suggestions did they have? How did they participate? What social skills were evident? What social skills need development?
