  8. SWBAT list and provide examples of geographic features. • Do Now • Notes: The Six Features • Lemons Can Be Very Nice… Eventually • Practice • Exit Ticket

  9. Geography • The study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere • What is the environment of a place like? How can we describe it?

  10. Geographic Features • 1) Landforms • 2) Climate • 3) Bodies of Water • 4) Vegetation • 5) Natural Resources • 6) Elevation

  11. Landform • A natural formation of rock and dirt on the earth’s surface • Examples: Mountains, hills, valleys, plains, islands, archipelagos, volcanoes, canyons

  12. Climate • The long-term patterns of weather in an area, including temperature and rainfall • TEMPERATURE + RAINFALL = CLIMATE

  19. Natural Resources • Materials naturally found in the earth that can be used by human beings

  20. Elevation • The measure of distance above or below sea level

  21. Lemons (landforms) • Can (climate) • Be (bodies of water) • Very (vegetation) • Nice… (natural resources) • Eventually (elevation)

  22. Check for Understanding • LAKE: Body of water, or landform?

  23. Check for Understanding • Grassland: Elevation or vegetation?

  24. Check for Understanding • Wood: Vegetation or natural resource?

  25. Check for Understanding • Forest: Vegetation or natural resource?

  26. Partner Work: 5 minutes • Indoor voices • Work ONLY with your partner • If you finish early, move on to #5-7
