These 2 activities focus on cartography and topography. In the "Cartographer for a Day" activity, students build a playdoh model of a mountain and make a map of it. In the "Modeling Faults" activity, they build a 3D paper diagram to show faults below the surface.
I need a lesson that students can understand faulting as well as topographic maps. Earth science is tough for our students especially the concept of faulting because they haven't seen it before.
The PEER Program is composed of three grants entitled
"GK-12 Fellows Integrate Science/Math in Rural Middle Schools", "Integrating Environmental Health Science in Rural Schools,"
and a NCRR SEPA
grant entitled "Science Promotion in Rural Middle Schools".
