Landforms and Bodies of Water

We are learning about Earth in our science unit, in particular the processes that shape the earth and what land and water looks like on the planet.  We studied key terminology on landforms and bodies of water and then we put our new knowledge to the test by making them!!  We used salt dough to make landforms and construction paper to make our own version of earth, including bodies of water!

Devin is referring back to his notes on landforms as he creates his own.

Katelyn is getting started with salt dough.

Madelynn and Vanessa check out their creations.

Drew's finished salt dough landforms. 

Madelynn and Naomi paint their dried forms.

Danielle and Caleb paint their landforms.  

Blake's finished landforms.  You can see a hill, a mountain, islands and a volcano!

We put our landforms on our maps and added bodies of water.  What awesome creations!

You can see continents, lakes, ponds, deserts, glaciers...

...peninsulas, gulfs, oceans, bays and even rivers!
