Big Ideas
- Wind and water can change the shape of land, but people can develop solutions to slow or prevent these changes.
- Earth's surface is made up of various landforms and bodies of water, which can be represented and understood using models.
Essential Questions
- How do wind and water change the shape of the land?
- What solutions can help slow or prevent changes to the land by wind or water?
- How can we use models to represent the shapes and types of land and bodies of water?
- Where can we find water on Earth, and in what forms does it exist?
