Earth's Feature

Hello everyone,

I am currently doing my student internship. 

I am trying to plan some activities for my science block plan. I am working with 2nd grade about the Earth's feature.

At the end I want them model parts of the earth for the end project. But I need some help with some of the activities to learn about the earth's features, such as , land and water. 

If there is any good resource that you guys can recommend to me, it would be really big help!!

Modeling is always a powerful learning tool.  And keeping it local to what you and your stduents experience daily allows for deeper connections.  What features would you be focusing upon?  There's so many wonderful reources, that would help narrow the suggestions

 

Thanks
