Virtual Tour Plan

My Google Earth Virtual Tour Plan and TPACK questions!
Content: I will using google earth so students can actually see the landforms created by the earth's volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift.

In my Google Earth tour, I will be addressing the Fifth Grade Science Standard 2, objective 2b: Give examples of different landforms that are formed by volcanoes, earthquakes, and uplift (e.g., mountains, valleys, new lakes, canyons).

Pedagogy: I will be letting the students discover with discovery learning what volcanoes, earthquakes and uplifts can create and I will guide them to the different things these things can form.

Technology: The technology or google earth will fit good with my content because they get the chance to actually see what they are learning about and how these different land forms look and they will discover their characteristics. It also fits pedagogy because I want them to discover on their own with guided help and google earth gives the students the ability to discover at their own pace with the knowledge they know where to go. I think that google earth is an extremely more interactive way instead of just using powerpoints or pictures which can be extremely 2D.

Location	Activity Description	Google Earth Content
1. Rocky Mountain GeologySouth-Central Colorado Land/mountains created by uplifting.	Measure the height of the mountains. How high is it from the valley?	Turn on a layer to better see the height. Use ruler youtube
2. Yucca Mountain is a mountain in the Nellis Military Operations in Nevada approximately 80 miles northwest of the Las Vegas. Mountains created from earthquakes.	Have them identify the different peaks that are formed by the multiple earthquakes that created these mountains. Details there: when the techtonic plates hit they could go ontop of each other and form a mountain	Path tool and ruler as well as a polygon maybe. Youtube
3. Redfoot Lake in Tiptonville, TN Lakes created by earthquakes.	Measure the Lake. Details: Created by earthquakes, this unique 13,000-acre lake offers year-round fishing and hunting.	Path tool. Ruler and I will use a polygon to show where to measure. youtube
4. Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park Land Created by Volcanoes.	Identify at least two vocanoes on the Hawaii islands. Details: Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution -- processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with unique ecosystems, and a distinct human culture.	Uses layers to see the vocanoes. Image overlay to see activate volcanoes youtube
