African Geography Natural Resources Unit 1 | Reading Guide Quiz Activities | Grades 6 to 12

Before you can understand African history, you have to understand the land.

This unit covers the five regions of Africa, the major rivers, mountains, deserts, and rainforests, and the natural resources that made Africa one of the most targeted continents in history. Students learn why geography is not just science. In Africa, it is tied directly to politics, power, and who wanted what and why.

Includes a reading guide with Did You Know fact boxes, 16 vocabulary terms, map activities, resource matching, discussion questions, a crossword puzzle, a two-level quiz for middle school and high school, and a complete answer key.

This is Unit 1 of the 12-unit KARIBU African Studies curriculum.
