| BRAZIL |
Hello Explorers! It's time to start packing our suitcases for our trip to South America! First we'll be heading to beautiful Brazil. Look at your classroom map or globe to find Brazil (or check the small map on the left). Brazil is on the eastern side of the continent, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. It is the biggest country in South America and the fifth biggest country in the world.
Can you find the equator on your map or globe? You will see that most of Brazil is below the equator in the Southern Hemisphere. The United States is in the Northern Hemisphere. That means the seasons in Brazil are the opposite of our seasons here. When it is summer in North Carolina, it is winter in Brazil. Explorer challenge: Should we pack our bathing suits or our snow boots for our trip to Brazil in December?
