Extend • One way students could further explore the idea of landforms and bodies of water would be to conduct research on common landforms and bodies of water in their neighborhood, county, state or region. • One way to involve families in this experience would be to ask the students to go home and interview their families about major landforms or bodies of water they have visited and why. For example, maybe a family has visited on of the islands of Hawaii or gone hiking on the Rocky Mountains . • Additionally, students could create an art project depicting one of the landforms or bodies of water studied. For example, a college of a river or a pastel of a mountain range.
