landforms
By 4th grade teacher

Clip to ScrapBook   
Hi! In my 4th grade classroom, we use clay to make various landforms. We use a small paper plate and the students show me mountain ranges, valley, lakes, islands, plateaus, ocean, etc. by covering it with different colored clay. It's how I test the unit....they are graded not on how they made the clay land or water form, but if they could verbally explain it to me as they point to it. It's great fun, and they look great. I would think your 2nd graders could do this, too. Try it!
