1 Landform Chaos! WebQuest and Handouts Created by Ms. Hilton 1

2 Name: Pre-Assessment Directions: Before beginning the WebQuest, draw a picture of each of the following landforms in the box where you feel they belong. Be sure to draw each landform the best way that you can. In your illustration, be sure to include: a volcano, mountain, valley, canyon, cavern, island, ocean, sea, river, lake, pond, stream and glacier. 2

3 Name: Study Guide and Notes Page Directions: For each website write 5 new things you learned. Website: Website: Website:

4 Name: Landform Matching Cards Directions: Read the definition and then draw the landform in the box. Once you have all the landforms drawn, cut the cards apart, mix them up and match the picture with its correct definition. Draw a volcano. An opening in the Earth s crust where molten lava and gases erupt. Draw a mountain. A very high hill above its surroundings. Draw a valley. An area of lowland between hills or mountains. Draw a canyon. A deep narrow valley with steep sides and often with a stream flowing through it. Draw a cavern. A natural underground chamber open to the surface. Draw an island. An area of land surrounded by water on all sides. 4

5 Draw an ocean. The whole body of salt water that covers the surface of the Earth. Draw a sea. Great body of salt water not as large as the ocean. Draw a river. A natural stream of water larger than a brook or creek. Draw a lake. A body of freshwater surrounded by land. Draw a pond. A body of water usually smaller than a lake. Draw a stream. A body of running water flowing on Earth. Draw a glacier. A large body of ice moving slowly down a slope or valley or spreading outward on a land surface. 5

6 Name: Venn Diagram Directions: Compare and contrast freshwater and saltwater on the Venn Diagram. Freshwater Saltwater 6

7 Name: Animal Match-Up Directions: Using the clues and what you have learned about landforms, match each animal to the place it lives. WORD BANK: Cavern island ocean sea river pond glacier stream lake canyon valley mountain volcano I am a bobcat; I like to live on a landform that is a very high hill above its surroundings. Where does the bobcat live? I am a desert bighorn sheep; I like to live on an area of lowland between mountains. Where does the desert bighorn sheep live? I am a rattlesnake; I like to live on a deep narrow valley with steep sides and often with a stream flowing through it. Where does the rattlesnake live? 7

8 I am a bat; I like to live in a natural underground chamber open to the surface. Where does the bat live? I am a black lemur; I like to live on an area of land surrounded by water on all sides. Where does the black lemur live? I am a giant squid; I like to live in a body of water that covers the surface of the Earth. Where does the giant squid live? I am a whale; I live in a great body of salt water not as large as the ocean. Where does the whale live? 8

9 I am an anaconda; I live in a natural stream of water larger than a brook or creek. Where does the anaconda live? I am a pelican; I live in a body of freshwater surrounded by land. Where does the pelican live? I am a stonefly; I live in a body of water usually smaller than a lake. Where does the stonefly live? I am a barbel; I live in a body of running water flowing on Earth. Where does the barbel live? 9

10 I am an ice worm; I live on a large body of ice that moves slowly down a slope or valley spreading outward on a land surface. Where does the ice worm live? 10

11 Here is your workspace to sketch out your model of the land features, water features, and animals. Once you have it drawn you will build it as a 3-D model. Please remember to include a(n): mountain, valley, canyon, cavern, island, ocean, sea, river, lake, pond, stream, glacier, bobcat, desert bighorn sheep, rattlesnake, bat, black lemur, giant squid, whale, anaconda, pelican, stonefly, barbell, and ice worm. 11
