Goal 2: The learner will make observations and conduct investigations to build an understanding of landforms.

2.01) Identify and analyze forces that cause change in landforms over time including: Water and Ice, Wind, Gravity.
2.02) Investigate and discuss the role of the water cycle and how movement of water over and through the landscape helps shape land forms.
2.03) Discuss and consider the wearing away and movement of rock and soil in erosion and its importance in forming: Canyons, Valleys, Meanders, Tributaries.
2.04) Describe the deposition of eroded material and its importance in establishing landforms including: Deltas, Flood Plains.
2.05) Discuss how the flow of water and the slope of the land affect erosion.
2.06) Identify and use models, maps, and aerial photographs as ways of representing landforms.
2.07) Discuss and analyze how humans influence erosion and deposition in local communities, including school grounds, as a result of: Clearing land, Planting vegetation, Building dams.
