Asia Unit Study - Israel Study

Israel Unit Study, Israel Printables, Israel for kids


Hello friends, we are still having fun learning about the countries in Asia. Check out our Asia Resource post HERE.

Asia Unit Study

Today we have directed our attention to Israel. I had a ton of fun putting all the resources together for my girls. It was a bit challenging, because I was having some trouble finding resources. I did end up finding quite a bit though. Below I am sharing the resources I found. We hope you enjoy and find something useful.

Asia Unit Resources


Hello Friends! Yesterday we started a fun new unit on Asia. I have complied a list of resources below that would be great for a study on Asia. A while back we created an Asia continent box. They are easy to make and make great holders for all things related to Asia. Click here to see my post regarding our continent boxes.

Sir Edmund Percival Hillary was a New Zealand mountaineer, explorer and philanthropist. On the 29th of May 1953, Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed as having reached the summit of Mount Everest.
The late great Sir Edmund Hillary, first to climb Mt. Everest, tells Forbes Adventurer Jim Clash in his own words what is was like to reach the top with Tenzing Norgay in 1953.

Asia has the third-longest river in the world 
The Yangtze River, known in China as the Chang Jiang or Yangzi, is the longest river in Asia and the third-longest in the world. It flows for 6,418 kilometers  or 3,988 mi.
The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam that spans the Yangtze River by the town of Sandouping, located in Yiling District, Yichang, Hubei province, China. The Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity.

Great Wall of China, http://publicdomainclip-art.blogspot.com/2007/09/great-wall-of-china.html
The Great Wall of China is a wall that covers much of the northern border of China. If you take the length of the entire wall, plus various branches, it is around 5,500 miles long! No wonder they call it the Great Wall.
