Hop from islands to mountains, from permafrost to tropical rainforests. Explore glaciers and coral reefs. Display the diversity of the Earth’s landscape!
1.
In small groups, research various landforms such as hills, mountains, plains, valleys, oceans, lakes, peninsulas, rivers, islands, glaciers, coral reefs, deserts, and rain forests. Find each landform in several different parts of the world. Identify the similarities and differences in these landforms, and how they affect life in that part of the globe.

Choose several landforms that are most appealing to your group. On white construction paper, draw detailed postcard-size pictures of each landform. Use Crayola® Colored Pencils, Crayola Construction Paper Crayons, and Crayola Washable Markers. Cut out with Crayola Scissors.

On small pieces of paper, or on the back of your drawings, label each landform with name, a sentence describing that landform, and locations where it is found.

Punch holes in the top of each paper. Tie papers to yarn cut in varying lengths. Hang the landforms and their labels from a cardboard tube to create a mobile.
