   Extractions: Iowa: Geography Iowa is bordered on two sides by rivers; the Mississippi separates it on the east from Wisconsin and Illinois, and the Missouri and the Big Sioux separate it on the west from Nebraska and South Dakota. The state is bounded on the north by Minnesota and on the south by Missouri. Iowa is an area of rich, rolling plains, interrupted by many rivers. The terrain is low and gently sloping, except for the hills in the unglaciated area of NE Iowa, the steeply sloping bluffs on the banks of the Mississippi, and the moundlike bluffs on the banks of the Missouri. The rivers of the eastern two thirds of Iowa flow to the Mississippi; those of the west flow to the Missouri. The original woodlands, which included black walnut and hickory, were destroyed by lumbering and land clearing in the 19th century, and the present wooded sections are covered only with second or third growths of timber. Typical of Iowa is the prairie. Covered a little more than a century ago with grass higher than the wheels of the pioneers' prairie schooners, or covered wagons, the prairies are now covered with fields of corn and other grains. The wild flowers that once blossomed among the prairie grass still brighten the roadsides; however, few areas of the original grassland remain, and prairie grass preserves have been established. The former habitat of wild turkeys, prairie chickens, and quail, Iowa abounds with migratory geese and ducks and the imported ring-necked pheasant and European partridge, all of which are hunted in the autumn.

   Extractions: Bordered on the east by the Mississippi River and on the west by the Missouri River; Iowa is located in the "heartland of America" a region of four distinct seasons with hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters.

Lows in January average between 10 to 20 degrees F (-12.2 to - 6.6 c), dropping at times below zero. Annual rainfall ranges from 26 inches (66 cm) in Northern Iowa to 36 inches (91.4 cm) in the southeast, with about 70 percent falling from April through September. Heavy snow often covers the state from January through March, with a yearly average snowfall of 50 inches (127 cm) in the north and 22 inches (55.8 cm) in the south. Iowa's seasons provide a wide range of temperature variation throughout the year and the climate is especially comfortable from mid-spring to early summer and again from late summer to late autumn.

Jo Lynn Cheramie, a fourth-grade teacher at Larose Middle School in Larose, Louisiana, has been incorporating the Internet into her classroom geography activities and learning some lessons of her own. Cheramie's class decided to try to collect a million pennies! She took charge of drumming up support for the student project via the Internet and, as the pennies rolled in, her students marked on a map the origin of each batch. Soon this ambitious project expanded to include the entire school. But, after a short period of time, when the flood of donations slowed to a trickle, Cheramie recognized that it was time to look for another geography project to complement this one. Although disappointed, she was undaunted. "I have joined another Internet project which we are doing everyday in my class," says Cheramie. "It is called

Among these many land forms is one that is only found here in Iowa and an area of China. This area is called the Loess Hills. If you so desire you might study the prehistoric wild life found in Iowa. Dinosaurs were not known as residents of Iowa but a new discovery points to a remote possibility of their presence. Many other exotic creatures were in Iowa and you can learn about and catalog these.
