Landform Formation - Informational Brochure Project

Description

This landform brochure project is a great way to assess your upper elementary students' understanding of the processes that drive the formation of several landforms. First students will use a brainstorming page to research and gather information. Then they use a brochure template to organize their information in a creative way. The brochure includes space to explain the formation of Canyons, Deltas, Sand Dunes, and U-Shaped Valleys.

This activity works great as an end of unit assessment alternative instead of a multiple choice test AND it helps students practice all the skills needed for writing informational pieces.

What's included:

- Printable Brainstorming Page

- Printable Grading Rubric with specifics

- Editable Grading Rubric for teachers (if you'd like to adjust)

- Student Work Example Page

- Blank Brochure Template for Google Slides

Skills Covered:

-Formation Process of landforms (Canyons, Deltas, Sand Dunes, and U-Shaped Valleys)

NGSSMS-ESS2-2

Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events. Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.

NGSS5-ESS2-1

Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere. The geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system. Assessment is limited to the interactions of two systems at a time.
