Types of Vehicles
Two-Wheeled Vehicles
Vehicles that run on two wheels, like bicycles and motorcycles. They are smaller, lighter, and often more fuel-efficient than larger vehicles.
Watch VideoFour-Wheeled Vehicles
Vehicles with four wheels like cars, jeeps, and SUVs. They provide more stability and can carry more people and goods than two-wheeled vehicles.
Watch VideoMulti-Wheeled Vehicles
Vehicles with more than four wheels, like trucks and buses. These vehicles are designed to carry heavy loads or many passengers.
Watch VideoVehicles Without Wheels
Some vehicles don't use wheels at all! Boats, ships, helicopters, and planes use different methods to move through water or air.
Watch VideoLandforms
Mountains & Hills
Mountains are very tall landforms that rise high above the surrounding land. Hills are smaller than mountains but still higher than the surrounding land.
Watch VideoPlains & Valleys
Plains are flat, low-lying areas of land. Valleys are low areas of land between hills or mountains, often with a river flowing through them.
Watch VideoPlateaus & Deserts
Plateaus are flat areas of land that are higher than the surrounding land, like a table. Deserts are dry areas with very little rainfall and plant life.
Watch VideoIslands & Coasts
Islands are areas of land completely surrounded by water. Coasts are the areas where land meets the sea or ocean, often with beaches and cliffs.

Maps use different colors to show different features: blue for water bodies, green for forests, brown for mountains, and yellow for deserts.
Watch VideoDirections on Maps
Maps usually show directions with North at the top, South at the bottom, East to the right, and West to the left. A compass rose helps you find directions.
