Academic Vocabulary: Geography word wall & powerpoint
Updated in March 2013, this adds 14 new terms to the original 12 landforms and 20 geography concept terms made visually MEMORABLE to our students.

I started doing this out of frustration that my kids could not keep "urban" and "rural" straight. I created "visual vocabulary" for those two terms and it was almost magical how they then remembered those terms. So I

This quick project allows students to work with others and learn more about a particular astronomer. Students must use computers or other resources to find the information, and I have the students create a poster to present the material to the rest of the class the next day. It is a great way to teach geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system and have students learn more about Galileo and Newton.
