If you are required to teach LANDFORMS and HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION in your classroom, this unit is the only stop you'll need to make!
Your students will be introduced to various landforms, discover the impact these landforms have on business and activities, research patterns of human settlement, and even create their own 8th Continent as a cumulative project at the end of the unit.
This unit is jam-packed with hands on learning for a topic that is often difficult to understand.
The following topics/ standards are covered in this unit:
-Students will use geographic tools to identify major landforms (e.g., continents, mountain ranges), bodies of water (e.g., oceans, major rivers) and natural resources on Earth’s surface and use relative location.
-Students will describe how different factors (e.g. rivers, mountains) influence where human activities are located in the community.
-Students will describe patterns of human settlement in places and regions on the Earth’s surface.
-Students will describe ways people adapt to/modify the physical environment to meet their basic needs (food, shelter, clothing).
-Students will describe how the physical environment can both promote and restrict human activities.
I hope you find this PRINTER FRIENDLY resource helpful in your classroom as you study Landforms and Human-Environment Interaction!
