Your Own Backyard
Earth has many different kinds of environments, each with its own natural features. This lesson introduces students to a variety of environments through multimedia resources. Students begin by discussing the environmental features of the area where they live then take a field trip to explore a local environment. They then watch videos of four different types of environments and compare and contrast their features. In the final activity, students talk about interesting places they have visited and discuss them in terms of their geologic features.
