elcome to our Georgia! You may be a native Georgian. Or
you may have arrived here from Mexico, Vietnam, India,
Japan, Korea,
or other nations and U.S. states. We are
glad you are
here and hope you enjoy learning more about
your home.

In the two chapters of this unit, you will learn about our geographic
regions, our climate, our waterways, and other natural resources of
the state. You will also read about the many plants and animals you
can see as you walk around your neighborhood, visit a public park, or
travel on Georgias back roads.
A special feature in this unit takes you on a visual trip to
Georgias Wonders, seven unique places in our state that are the result
of nature, time, and geography. But before we begin studying about the
state we call home, let us look at what geography means.
