Canada's Provinces and Territories
Map Challenge Time!
Color and label each province and territory on your map Use the classroom map as your guide Add the capital cities if you finish early Work with a partner if you need help
Canada's Amazing Physical Features
Rocky Mountains - Towering peaks in western Canada Great Lakes - Five massive freshwater lakes Hudson Bay - Huge body of water in northern Canada These features shape how and where Canadians live!
Think and Discuss
How might living near the Rocky Mountains be different from living near the Great Lakes? Why do you think most Canadians live in the southern part of our country?
