HOW TO USE THE LANDFORMS UNIT STUDY
I thought I’d take some time to share with you how we use one of my most popular products, the Landforms Unit Study!
This year, we plan to keep our landforms resources handy and incorporate them into our homeschool routine. We typically follow a pretty loose and flexible homeschool routine so I find prepping everything and keeping it at the ready to be very helpful.
Here are a few ways I plan to use the Landform Unit Study:
AS A SUPPLEMENT: We have a few resources we’re using for social studies and geography so we will use the landforms study to fill in any gaps.
ENRICHMENT: I plan to pull aspects from it to enrich our lessons. For example, when we learned about Egypt, we pulled out the river and delta resources to enhance our study on the Delta Nile.
FOUNDATION FOR A UNIT STUDY: I’ve penciled in a few unit studies throughout the year based on certain landforms. So, when we learn about caves, I’ll use the cave resources as a base for a cave unit study and supplement with library books, documentaries, a field trip, etc.
AS A JUMPING OFF POINT: We often find ourselves inspired to dive more deeply into a topic as we learn. So, for example, I fully expect something like a quick lesson on sand dunes to develop into a week-long deep dive on the topic. I’m never quite sure what will spark their interest so I like to allow room for this type of unexpected exploration.
UNIT STUDY: I created this so you could use each landform individually, as I plan to or as one big unit study. The unit study guide I wrote incorporates several subjects, allowing you to explore landforms from multiple perspectives. Subjects covered include science, social studies, language arts, math, and art. You could spend several weeks on the subject of landforms and bodies of water.
The Landform Unit Study is versatile and a easy way to incorporate geography and social studies into your homeschool routine.
It’s meant for all ages! I've included lots of fun activities for preschool aged and elementary age students but everything can be adapted for older children.
All the artwork is my original by me.
It’s 235 pages, features 44 different landforms, a unit study guide, printables, book and video lists, plus so much more!
I’ve put together a list of recommended books for studying landforms: Landforms Book List (affiliated link).
I hope you all enjoy learning more about landforms with me 😊
