NE Atlantic Gulfs, Seas, and Straits - New Course

Digging out again from another eight inches of snow. At least being shut in by the weather helps get new course out. Ive been adding new content on HomeSchool Advantage's premier subject - Geography. Our goal is to have 30,000 facts on all sorts of subjects, but to give you the idea of where we are going with the site we wanted to do at least one subject more fully from the start, and that subject is Geography.

Two reasons for this:

1. Geography is fun.
2. Americans are notoriously bad at Geography.

We are also using Geography to demonstrate that more you build your knowledge nets, the faster you retain new facts. A new geography knowledge net was added to HomeSchool Advantage today. If you have already learned your European countries these new facts will likely be learned very quickly. The new course is located in 500 level Geography.

520 - NE Atlantic
Gulfs, Seas and Straits

It contains wonderful color maps, making it easy to identify the gulfs, seas and straits of the region.

Can you find the Straits of Dover, the Baltic Sea, the Irish Sea? How about the Celtic Sea and the Bay of Biscay?

Fifteen different NE Atlantic bodies of water are included in this course. Time to round out your knowledge of the seas of the NE Atlantic. Learning them will make European history, world news, and current events more interesting and engaging.

Of course, as always, the course is Free to Members.
