Landforms Model Project
This is a fun way for your students to learn about the different landforms! Each student/partner/group gets assigned a landform and they build a model based on that landform. Then you have your students set up their model along with their descriptions and extra paper for comments from other students around the room. Students then do a gallery walk, writing comments on other students extra paper about how their landforms are similar to or different from the landform they are observing!
