Begin the lesson by introducing the concept of landforms and their significance in shaping Earth's diverse landscapes. Discuss how geological processes such as weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity contribute to the formation of landforms.

Explain the different types of landforms such as mountains, plains, valleys, canyons, and plateaus. Use diagrams and examples to illustrate how each landform is formed.

Discuss the processes of weathering, erosion, and tectonic activity, emphasizing how these processes contribute to the formation and transformation of landforms over time.

Watch the video 'The Grand Canyon' to understand how the Colorado River has shaped this vast landscape over millions of years through erosion.

Explore the video 'Mountain Ranges of the World' to learn about the formation and characteristics of major mountain ranges and their ecological and cultural significance.

Engage students in a hands-on activity where they create a diorama to model Earth's landforms, focusing on mountains, valleys, and plateaus.

Use the 'Modeling the Earth’s Features' assessment to guide students in creating their diorama and reflecting on their learning.

Assign students the 'Comprehension – Earth’s Landforms' worksheet to reinforce their understanding of landform characteristics and formation processes.

Conduct a class discussion to review key concepts and answer any questions students may have about landforms and geological processes.

Have students reflect on what they have learned about Earth's landforms and the processes that shape them. Encourage them to share their thoughts and insights.

Use the 'Earth’s Landforms' assessment to evaluate students' ability to identify and describe various landforms.

Encourage students to explore local landforms and water features, using the 'Local Land and Water Features' assessment to guide their observations and descriptions.

Conclude the lesson with a quiz to assess students' comprehension of the topic.
