Cape: Discover coastal regions larger than points but smaller than peninsulas.
Point: Understand narrow land extensions into water, formed by silt deposits.
Spit: Explore narrow land tongues projecting into the sea, formed by sand and gravel deposition.
Isthmus: Study necks of land between two seas, uniting continents or peninsulas.
Gulf: Discover large ocean parts partially enclosed by land.
Fjord: Learn about long, deep sea inlets bordered by steep cliffs.
Bay: Understand parts of lakes or seas indenting shorelines.
Cove: Explore small bays or inlets.
Harbor: Study large bodies of water enclosed for mooring ships or boats.
Jetty: Discover structures extending into water to influence currents or protect harbors.
Channel: Learn about large, navigable stretches of water connecting large bodies of water.
Strait: Understand narrow waterways connecting extensive sea areas.
Canal: Study artificial waterways for irrigation or boat passage.
Lagoon: Explore water bodies partly or completely separated from larger bodies by narrow land strips.

Booklets and wall charts are not included in the homeschool version. The three-part card format includes control cards, which children can use to match labels and pictures. If desired, these control cards can be bound and used as booklets. We have opted to exclude booklets and wall charts to make the homeschool edition more cost-effective.
