Inspire and engage your students in studying the geographic aspects of Earth!

About 4.56 billion years ago, gravity pushed swirling gas and dust together to form our planet, Earth. This rocky, terrestrial planet is the only known place in the universe that can support life. From its incredible geologic forces that create mountains, valleys, canyons, and plains to the dazzling minerals found within its terrain, the geography of Earth is truly remarkable. For this assignment, students will choose an aspect of Earth to study and create a project to showcase their learning. Have fun!

This resource guides students through the process of conducting their own research report on a geographic aspect of Earth. First, students learn how to properly conduct research without plagiarizing their sources. After researching, students choose how to showcase their learning by creating a poster board, presentation board, PowerPoint, or dodecahedron (Dodecahedron Instructions and templates are included). Afterwards, students present their learning to the class and self-assess their achievement (Teacher Rubric also included).

This Resource Contains:

★ Step-by-Step instructions
★ Research Instructions & Templates
★ How to Avoid Plagiarism Instructions
★ Dodecahedron Instructions & Template

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts.

Thanks so much,
