It is bordered in the north by Mexico, south and west by Guatemala and east by the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Here is how to find Belize on a globe. First, find the equator. This is a line that runs right around the globe half way between the top and the bottom. Next, look for the Americas. This is the area of land that runs almost from the top to the bottom of the globe. The Americas have huge oceans on both sides. These are coloured blue on the globe. Belize can be found a little bit above where the equator crosses the AmericasMapsMaps show us different places. Some maps show the whole world, others show only part of the world. On a map, you can see that Belize is next to Mexico and Guatemala. These countries are our neighbours.If you look at a map of Belize you will see it has six districts, These are Corozal, Orange Walk, Belize, Cayo, Stann Creek and Toledo. The map will also show the rivers, mountains and highways which connect the country. The highways are Phillip Goldson, George Price, Hummingbird and Southern highways.

They feed, respire, excrete, grow, move, reproduce and are sensitive to their environment. People, as well as animals and plants need food for energy but they all feed in different ways. People and animals eat plants and other animals, but plants make their own food. They use sunlight, air, water and nutrients from the soil to make food. When plants respire they take in carbon dioxide from the air. When people and animals respire, they take in oxygen from the air. Respiration helps them get energy from food they eat. People, plants and animals produce and remove waste from the body. All people, plants and animals increase in size. They move from one place to another or in different directions. Plants move very slowly. They turn their leaves to the light. Animals as well as people move from one place to another. They all produce young ones to replace themselves before they die. They are sensitive to their environment.

Humans need food, water, shelter, oxygen, space and the right temperatures to live. Other living things may have the same needs. Depending on the organism, these needs may include air, water, nutrients, food, light, shelter, space, and certain temperatures. Plants need soil, nutrients, sunlight, water, space, air and appropriate temperatures to survive. Plants need air that provides them with carbon dioxide so that they can produce food and oxygen. Yes! Plants make their own food and the oxygen that you and I need to live. Animals need food, water, shelter, oxygen, space and appropriate temperatures.SubjectH.F.L.E Grade LevelInfant 1 StrandDiet and DiseaseUnit TitleStaying Fit and WellLearning Outcome1.2 Describe how, when and why a person should wash their hands to make it less likely they will get sick.(To be read by the teacher.)Ricky Washes His HandsAt the beginning of the year, Ms. Norales told her class to keep their hands and work area clean.
