The students will look at examples of these landforms from around the world. Next, the students will pair up to create three landforms on cardboard squares using goop (salt dough). Finally the students will present their landforms to the class and the teacher will read aloud a short story involving landforms.

Course Description For Geo 120 ~ Physical Environment physical geography focuses primarily on the natural environment of the relates topeople, It looks at phenomena like climate, vegetation, and landforms. http://learn.wisconsin.edu/colleges/geo120/
Extractions: Home Course Description Geography 120: The Physical Environment is an introduction to the academic discipline of physical geography, which is a comprehensive study of the natural environment. Physical geography, like other subdivisions of geography, is concerned with the spatial distribution of natural phenomena, and seeks to explain the distribution systems involved. Physical geography focuses primarily on the "natural" environment of the earth, especially as it relates to people, It looks at phenomena like climate, vegetation, and landforms. Physical geography can be organized around four earth systems: Physical geography is concerned with the processes that create natural phenomena. Physical geography is unusual in that it utilizes many other sciences and weaves them together to explain the "where's," "why's," and "how's," of the natural environment. For example, in studying climate, physical geography is concerned with where different climates are found, why they are there, how they affect people, and how people affect them.

[Regents Prep Global History] Human & Physical Geography: Introduction in terms of it's physical and human characteristics such as climate, landforms,waterways, language Human/environment Interaction, Describes how people change http://regentsprep.org/Regents/global/themes/geography/index.cfm
Extractions: Introduction Human and Physical Geography is the study of the environment people , and the resources they use. Geography determines the way in which humans live, the adaptations they have developed to survive, and the alterations to the environment they have made to better their existence. The impact of human interaction with the environment has had mixed results. While human life has been improved and made more comfortable, the environment has been damaged in a variety of ways. The study of Human and Physical Geography has five themes, Location, Place, Interaction between People and their Environment, Movement, and Region.
