Landforms Miss Bellott’s 6 th Grade Class

What kind of landforms can you think of? Make a list in your group.

What Did You Come Up With? Islands Mountains Cliffs Caves Lakes Rivers Canyons Plateaus Volcanos Deserts Beaches Oceans Valleys Anything else?

How are landforms formed? How did they get here? Make some hypotheses in your group.

How Are They Made? Some kinds of rocks found on Earth form from volcanic material called magma. These rocks are known as igneous.

Another type of rock, known as sedimentary, forms from layers of materials such as sand, small rocks, and minerals that are cemented together by water from rain and chemicals.

The third type of rock, metamorphic, forms deep underground from other kinds of rock changing due to heat, pressure, and the mixture of chemicals.

All of these rocks are affected by water and erosion. Water running over rocks can cut deep holes in the earth, forming caves and canyons. Erosion, the wearing down of the land, can be caused by water as well as by wind, storms, and ice from glaciers.

Garden of the Gods Located in Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois Formed from the erosion of an ancient sea They are formed of sandstone, a sedimentary rock It is being preserved by being a part of the national forest

Your Turn Your group now gets to research your own landform! You must answer these questions: Where is your landform found? How did your landform form? What forces of nature caused it to form? How is your landform being preserved? Also, provide a picture of your landform. You must also state what material your landform is made out of, and what kind of rock it is: igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic

Choose a Landform Here are some options: Carlsbad Caverns Antelope Canyon Pumpkin Patch Concretions Garden of the Gods (Colorado) Grand Canyon

Can’t Find One? Choose a place you’ve been on vacation Choose a place you’ve seen on TV Choose a place you’ve read about in a book Choose a place you’ve seen pictures of CHECK YOUR LANDFORM WITH ME BEFORE YOU START YOUR PROJECT!

What Then? Once your group has all of the information on your landform you will need to present your project to the class You may use the overhead, the chalkboard, the computer, or posterboards These are due on February 16!
