Lesson 3

Learning Intention

To identify and compare natural and man-made features in a landscape.

Lesson Information

Steps to follow:

  • Go outside and think about what might have been here when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. These would be part of a natural landscape.
  • Now look and spot things that someone would have to make. These would be part of a man-made landscape.
  • In a container, make a natural landscape that a dinosaur could have lived in. You might use sand, rocks, sticks, leaves or other things you could find outside.
  • Talk to someone about what you have put in your natural landscape.
  • Challenge: Can you draw your street, and label what features would be part of a natural landscape, and which would be part of a man-made landscape?
