In All about Mexico for Kids, you and your students will learn a lot about the country’s rich history. In fact, lots of really cool remnants of the past, such as ancient cities and pyramids. Lots of them are part of modern cities and towns.
Mexico’s terrain is pretty diverse, from high mountains and plateaus to low coastal plains and deserts. Some parts are tropical, so the climate ranges from temperatures typical of deserts to those common to rainforests. The country borders Guatemala and Belize in the southeast and the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas in the north. It also touches the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea.
There are lots of different kinds of animals that live in this country. Mexico actually boasts the most reptiles than any other place in the world. If you visit Mexico, you might find jaguars, pumas, iguanas, lizards, monkeys, or parrots. Of course, it would depend where you are in the country since the habitats are diverse. In the nearby sea or ocean, you might see whales, manta rays, or manatees!
The history of this beautiful country is usually divided into three general periods: early, middle, and recent. The Early period included several ancient societies and civilizations, such as the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. The Olmecs were the first known society, which existed starting in 1200 BC. The Middle period lasted from around 1519 to 1810. In 1810, which marks the start of Mexico’s recent history, a rebel leader and others collaborated to gain Mexico’s independence.
