An earth globe, also known as a world globe, is a representation of the planet we live on. A globe is a great educational tool. Although the round shape of the globe is incorrect, it is a spinning three dimensional model of our earth, and can teach kids a lot of detail that a flat map or a geography text book cannot. If you have an old globe, make sure to buy a new and updated one as names of countries and their borders have changed considerably in the last decade. An earth globe can teach kids that the earth’s axis is tilted; that 71% of the earth is covered by water; that it spins from west to east, and many more details. It can be used to teach them about great men such as Copernicus, Galileo, Eratosthenes and Newton.
