This api is awesome and has endless possibilities as regards Social Studies... For instance 1st grade learns about their community and government. I always begin by teaching them about their school community (photo from flicker here), then about living on an island (map of Galveston silhouette type from flicker here), where they live on the island east end vs. west end (photo of a house from flicker here), if you get my drift and then superimpose this map on Texas, then on U.S.A... Yes, I love it. Also, something I did with 4th Grade was to make a brochure and you see where this is going... Social Studies activity which includes information about where they live with endless opportunities and photos/maps!
