Comparing and contrasting

 At the beginning of the lesson the children recapped why we have time zones; so that every country will have midday at 12pm. 

Then, the children looked at two capital cities: Oslo in Norway and London in England. They then compared and contrasted the human and physical geography in the two aerial photos. 

This allowed the children to use some great vocabulary such  as vegetation, population, transportations, settlements, industrial, rural, directional language, locations and climate.

Finally, the children came to the conclusion that Oslo was not that different to London, except for the temperatures, population and economical activity.
