The zombie threat is no longer a problem, but only a few humans remain alive on Earth. You are about to explore a group of geology websites that will explain many of the features that are found in the five physiographic provinces of Virginia. This is an important journey for you and your group members, because your research will help plan the best place to start your new lives. While you are exploring the various web sites, you will be asked to create a summary that explains your reasons for choosing your new location. After you have written a description of the region of your choice, your team will then create a map on a poster. Your map will display the five physiographic provinces and feature important facts about each. Pair your knowledge of the material with your imagination as you create this informative poster for other survivors to view. This map will help other zombie survivors in Virginia by giving them important knowledge of the landscape as they rebuild their own lives.
Finally, each member of the group will create a 2 minute video diary that describes his/her role in the group. As you describe your duties, share how your new location in Virginia will offer the best geologic resources to help you survive. The GOAL of this lesson:
The main goal of this lesson is that you explore and understand the many geologic features that define the five different physiographic provinces of Virginia. By exploring the landscape within this beautiful state, you will gain a better understanding of how the topography, sediment, rocks, and minerals vary throughout the provinces. Good luck! |
