Student Application

Take a journey to discover how physical weathering, chemical weathering, and erosion occur on the surface of the land.

Learning Objectives

1. Students will know that landforms are the shape of the land on the surface of the earth. Mountains, hills, plateaus, basins, and valleys are examples of landforms.
2. Students will realize that landforms are constantly changing. Some of these changes occur because of actions below the surface of the earth. For example, magma can er...

Student Application

Peek into the habitats of different kinds of animals to see how they meet their needs.

Learning Objectives

1. Students will understand that a habitat provides animals with food, water, and shelter; and it provides plants with sunlight and water.
2. Students will describe the different habitats and give examples of how plants and animals obtain the things they need to live from each type of environment.
   1. Design a Habitat: Have each student think about the habitats that they have seen on the video and let them draw a habitat of their own. Encourage students to think about what kinds of plants and animals would live in the habitat they have chosen. If it is a cold habitat, what kind of covering will their animals have? How will plants grow in ...
