The document outlines a lesson plan for students to learn about various geological features. It will have students identify features like mesas, plateaus, and mountains from maps and describe how processes like erosion and earthquakes can change features over time. For a final project, students will build their own model of a geological landform to demonstrate their understanding.

4. 1/6/2023 4
Identify processes that
form geological features
 Identify effects of erosion

Final Project
 Students will build a model of a
geological landform at home
 This model can be in the form of a
diorama, sculpture, relief map etc.
 Students may use clay, papier
mache or other materials
 Be creative and have fun!
 Students will bring their landform
models to class to display

Real Life
 The earth is in a constant state of
change
 Geological landforms are affected
by erosion, earthquakes, and other
forces of nature
 It is important to recognize these
changes in the earth’s geological
features
