In History we learn about the things and people from the past. We can hear fascinating stories what life was like before. We read about heroes and battles. But the problem is that we must memorize lots of dates.

In Geography we learn about our planet, about other planets and stars. We learn about rivers, lakes, mountains, continents, oceans, countries and cities from all over the world. We need a map and a globe.
