Shaping the Land

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

In this shaping the land activity, students will match 7 vocabulary words relating to the movement of sediments to its definition. Students will read 10 statements about how water and glaciers impact sediment movement and answer true or false. Students will then use a diagram of streams and rivers leading to the ocean to answer 5 fill in the blank questions. Finally students will write a short essay about if they think building a home on a steep slope or river bank is a good idea.
