Florida

In Florida they will travel throughout the state to explore the beaches and other natural and manmade attractions and find out what it is like to live there, what people like to eat, what kinds of jobs are common, and even why it is a popular vacation destination. They will also learn about Florida’s history, find out how the state is governed, and see what role it plays in the U.S. economy.
