Second graders at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville recently teamed up to create their own landform projects.

In this lesson, students built three-dimensional clay models from pictures that show various landforms and bodies of water. As they analyzed, read, and researched different landforms, students realized that there are many different types of landforms and bodies of water on Earth.

Based on their clay models, students identified various landforms and bodies of water.
