Here's an interesting way to study geography. Take an interactive quiz. With the correct answer you'll find links to web sites about the geographic area you're exploring. Or play a 20 questions-like game and try to stump the computer by guessing the right animal. The geo-tour gives you clues to a spot on the world map and then you guess where it is. These and other geo-games make geography a fun, interactive experience.

date palms:
Food is the most important essential for the humans and the living organisms, without it the humans are exposed to hungriness and their life becomes endangered, they die because of it in many cases, the U.N’s reports and the humanity organizations warn from the dangers of hungriness and bad feeding behavior as hungriness kills millions and millions of humans every year (including 5million children), the reports made up a list of the issues which makes many people suffer from hungriness, they are:
1- Using large amounts of seeds (like wheat and corn) in producing organic fuel.
2- The exposure of many places in the world for dryness.
3- Decreasing of fertilizers and increasing its price worldwide shared in increasing of the food’s price.
4- Using seed as food for animals because of increasing the life level and the demand of humans of meat.
The countries and the different organizations do their best efforts to decrease the ratio of hungry people in the world as it represents great hope for the hungry people, more than 30 countries represent half the citizens of developer countries could decrease the ratio of the hungry people to 25%.
From this project we make spotlight on one source of food and the production in the world for what it has from many benefits, it is date palm.

In the palm’s project we see the experts’ and specialists in feeding, agriculture, etc…
We will document this project with images, videos and information which insures that our project is serious and that it participates in solving one of the most dangerous problems that the humanity are exposed to.
In the end of our project, we would have known:
1- The original home of palm.
2- how does palm breed.
3- the diseases which attack palm and how to prevent it.
4- types of Palm.
5- the most famous types of it.
6- how to preserve (save) dates.

Art, Geography, and Healthful Living integrate in the creation of "postcards" on the web, which show unique features of a web visitor's home. Again, writing comes in, but in a fun, "clue-full" way. Geography or history has never been more fun to learn than this way. This web page also leads to increased understanding of cultural and human diversity. Results and "hits" could be analyzed mathematically or geographically. This is interactive, child-centered, interdisciplinary learning at its best.
