Unit Overview
In this unit India and Jacob—a fictional, world-traveling brother and sister duo—visit Thailand and learn that monsoon rains can cause severe flooding that cuts people off from important supplies. Kids will help Jacob and India engineer “aid drop packages” that can be dropped from an aircraft, protect what’s inside, and are easy to find once they reach the ground.
