Lots of great information here on the structure of the earth, plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes as well as quizzes.

Quite interactive. Don't let the students play the Goodgame Empire game. I was hoping that its map base might help Geog skills and problem solving but not too relevant to Geog. Other interactives are good. Steve

Create an avalanche by selecting the appropriate conditions.

The unleash an avalanche adjusting the wind speed, temperature and precipitation is a good animation. And the kids will be interested at what is at the bottom of the mountain.

There were blokes fighting fires with garden hoses in singlets with no boots on today in Melbourne. We need compulsory geography in schools to help with the Bushfires Royal Commission Recommendation 6 on Fire Education. The GTAV CFA joint Fire resource on our web site is superb. Must keep getting the message out about fire plans.

Great for students to start a unit with lots of amazing landform places and start with some "how do you think this was made" type questions. Have you seen similar? Look at the slope!

Changes in Landforms

Changes in Landforms | GTAV AC:G Y8 - Landforms and landscapes | Scoop.it
Lesson Pathways is an innovative new homeschool tool featuring curriculum and activities that appeal to multiple learning styles and teaching methods.
Geography Teachers' Association of Victoria Inc. (GTAV)'s insight:

CD - The geomorphic processes that produce landforms, including a case study of at least one landform.

 

Land changes over time due to weathering and erosion. The land then takes on a different appearance. In this unit, you will identify forces that cause change in landforms over time. Included are water, ice, wind and abraison. Hands-on activities include experimenting with chemical and physical changes, discovering how glaciers cause changes to the land, the effects of wind erosion, and changes in your own neighborhood. Online quizzes, videos, and printables.

Focused on Primary school fun practical activites. Could also be used for junior secondary. One activitiy has the following requirments that made me smile: 2 small pieces of steel wool
2 small plastic bags
A Sharpie
Water
Sheet of white paper. In Australia, a Sharpie was a 1970s pre skin head. Where do you get a Sharpie nowadays?

Best to show the students the types of amazing landscapes first before delving deeping. These could spark interest for a research project and presentation to the class from the students. They coud pick one of interest to them.
Rio Harvey's curator insight, April 10, 2014 2:33 AM

This page shows Australia's landscape and landforms. Using this page I want you to  understand the following questions:

1. What are Australia's World Heritage-listed sites and why are they Heritage listed?

 

2. How do people effect Australia's landscape and is there any chance we, as a population could destroy parts of our landscape through our everyday activities?
