Landform In a Box 2008

The "Landform in a Box" project will require students to use sand, rocks, foam, and other materials to create a landform in a shoe box. An example is on display in class.
A landform is a feature of a planet's surface, such as an island, mesa, volcano, mountain, waterfall, peninsula, swamp, or valley. (etc...)

This project is due on Friday, October 24th.
