I love teaching about maps and science/social studies. Here are some great resources I stumbled upon while researching this summer.
This gem from national geographic is interactive and very student friendly.
I didn't complete the whole game but it definitely scaffolds instruction for the students. It also nicely lends itself for a cross curricular lesson with coordinate planes and graphing in the first quadrant.
The second site is unfortunately loaded with ads, but still has a lot of good vocabulary for students.
I would use this with caution due to the ads, but this could definitely be adapted by taking the relevant information and putting it into a word document for student notes. That way, you can practice highlighting skills and note taking in addition to the science content.
This anchor chart does a great job at providing picture examples to go along with the vocabulary words.
This anchor chart goes great with the land forms kit I teach and is wonderful for ELL (English Language Learners) students.
Im trying to read the bottom half of the chart for weathering and erosion but it's not in focus for me. Anyone know what the bullets are by W or Erosion?
