Introducción a las ciencias de la Tierra: los relieves y masas de agua más grandes de la Tierra

Do you want to learn more about some of the largest landforms in the world?  Each week we will explore different landforms.  This class meets in an ongoing format so each week's content stands on its own and does not require previous knowledge or attendance.  

At the beginning of each class meeting I will briefly explain what a landform is.  Classes will be taught through discussion and using many pictures (through a PowerPoint presentation).  I will teach the definition of each specific landform that is being taught about in each given week.  I will also teach about the geography, geology, wildlife, and history of each of these largest listed landforms.  Students will be given the opportunity to ask questions and express their thoughts throughout the lesson.  At the end of each lesson learners will be given the opportunity to share what they learned and what they found interesting during the lesson.

Students only need an interest in nature and/or Earth to enjoy this class. No homework is required for this course but follow up activities will be provided for each learner at the end of every class.  This will help to enhance each learner's knowledge of the landforms that they learn about.

The landforms that will be taught in this class are:  Rivers, Lakes, Bayous, Waterfalls, Volcanoes, Calderas, Craters, Caves, Icebergs, Rocks, Mountains, Hills, Plains, Plateaus, Sand Dunes, Salt Flats, Deserts, Canyons, Cliffs, Beaches, Hot Springs and Geysers.
