The content that will be taught is how geographical formations are formed. Kids will discover the various forms that water, wind and glaciers erode rocks and formations to create canyons, formations and mountains.
They will learn through discovery activities and research these things.
They will learn by using google earth, and wikipedia.
I like the different places you are visiting in your tour! I've never been to any of them before. I will be fun for the students to feel like they are visiting those places. Great ideas for the activities too!
