Canada’s Landform Regions 3-D Modeling Assignment

Groups Member Names:

Your MISSION:

  1. In groups of four, using the blank map of Canada provided in class, research and create your own 3-D play-doh model map of Canada’s Landform Regions. Make sure to use proper mapping conventions for effective communication, and be sure to site any sources you use. You may use Chapter 12 from your course textbook.
  1. Each group member is responsible for one of the regions below. Be sure to include your name.
  1. For each landform region compile a list of at least 8 key information facts to be included in your Google document. This will include information such as:
  2. location
  3. age
  4. elevation heights
  5. how it was created
  6. physical features of the landscape (glaciers?)
  7. rock types and minerals found
  8. Other?
  1. Lastly, find an Internet image to depict each region, copy and past the image into your Google Doc. You may also wish to cut and glue images onto the final 3D map.
