39 episodes

Miacademy's second-grade social studies course, broken into 38 short videos. Most are "Let's Take a Journey" stops in Australia, Brazil, Cameroon, Egypt, Greece, and Indonesia, each finding the country on a map and comparing its land, weather, and daily life with the viewer's own. Others visit American communities to show the difference between a city, a suburb like Beaverton, Oregon, and rural Boone, Iowa. A few cover early economics: goods versus services, and the producers who supply them. An opener previews the year and a review closes it, so the set works in order or one country at a time.
