1. Inquiry Project 1: Finding and Using Internet Information Amy Lester Fall 2007 CEP 806 Michigan State University

2. The Idea: An Online Search for Examples of Earth’s Surface Features I chose to my inquiry plan based upon discussions within my 3 rd and 4 th grade split classroom. We began a Science unit on recognizing and describing Earth’s surface features. The textbooks provided by the school exclude this topic, even though it is required by our adopted curriculum to be taught at these grade levels. The students and I decided the best way to learn about and “see” the landforms is to search the internet for actual pictures from across the continents. Fortunately, this fit quite nicely into the requirements for Inquiry Project 1.
