Anatomy of a River

This single geography lesson focused on the anatomy of a river and their flow lays a crucial foundation for understanding various historical events and concepts.

By exploring the physical characteristics of rivers, such as their source, course, and the influence of gravity, students can grasp the fundamental principles governing water movement across landscapes. This understanding becomes particularly important when studying river transportation, especially during periods like the fur trade, where rivers served as vital arteries for the movement of goods and people.
