Physical Landscapes of North America | Interactive Lesson | Grades 6-8
From Arctic tundra to Florida subtropics, the United States and Canada sit on one of the most varied physical stages on Earth. This interactive lesson takes grades 6-8 through continental landforms, the Continental Divide, the Canadian Shield, Great Lakes and St. Lawrence waterways, rain shadow and permafrost, climate biomes, and how people engineer places like Hoover Dam and navigation locks. A mini-game is built into the lesson so students play through the content between readings and tasks. No prep beyond a short hook and exit ticket - both are in the pacing guide. One class passcode opens the portal lesson on pastportclass.com. No student accounts required.
