Landforms
You have been learning all about landforms in Science lab and now it's time to put what you know to the test!
We know this place called "Earth" is not just our home, but a place where plants and animals live also. When we look at a globe, our planet looks pretty smooth. As we begin to study landforms, we learn that this is not the reality. Many
landforms and bodies of water make Earth a very interesting place and helps
provide appropriate homes to different species. We also know when looking at a
globe that the blue represents water and green represents land.
First, check out the introduction below. Then, see the directions that follow.

Now that we've got your brain going, grab a piece of construction paper and
start your land form book! Check out my sample below:
start your land form book! Check out my sample below:
Fold your construction paper hotdog style. Then fold in half two more times. Cut three lines to make four windows. Label your windows. You will then begin Assignment #1 to complete your flipbook.
Assignment # 1 - Research for Your Flip Book
Once you have your windows labeled, use the videos below to help you gather information for each landform. Draw a picture underneath each landform title.You could also use magazines or copy a picture from the Internet. Underneath your window, write complete sentences describing the landform and telling about it.Give a real life example of the landform. Illustrate your landform with color if you drew it.
Mountains

Hills
Valleys
Plains
Assignment #2 Journal Entry
Grab your Science notebook and get ready to record! Make sure that you use your journal the way Ms. Miller has taught you: Put the date, page number and use both pages to do your neatest work. You may name the entry: Why Land Goes Up and Down
Watch the video below and respond in your journal byanswering the following questions in your entry:
-What is uplifting?
-What are plumes?
-How do plates move?
-How does erosion affect landforms?
Remember to use complete sentences in your entry. Do not just copy the questions, but instead respond the to video by saying things like: In the video,Why Land Goes Up and Down, I learned that... Uplifting is... Erosion effects
landforms by...
Why Land Goes Up and Down
Assignment #3 Create a Piktograph
Go to piktochart.com and get busy creating your own Infographic about your chosen landform. You must do some research first. Use the websites on the Landform Research page and find the answers to the following questions:
1. What is your landform? Give a definition in your own words.
2. Tell at least 3 places where a person can find your landform. You should be able to tell the name of the landform plus the location. Example: Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania.
3. You should include a graphic (picture) that shows what your landform looks like.
4. Include 3-4 Interesting Facts.
5. You could include pictures with captions of this landform in different places.
