Hey guys! Today we are going to learn about physical features. Physical features are things in nature that we can see and measure. They are sorted into groups like landforms, bodies of water, and natural resources.
Let’s start with landforms. Landforms are things like mountains and valleys. Mountains are very tall hills that reach up to the sky. Valleys are low areas between mountains. Can you think of any other landforms?
Now let’s talk about bodies of water. Bodies of water are things like rivers and oceans. Rivers are streams of water that go through the land. Oceans are huge bodies of saltwater that cover most of the Earth’s surface. Can you think of any other bodies of water?
Lastly, let’s talk about natural resources. Natural resources are things like forests and deserts. Forests are areas with lots of trees that help animals and people breathe. Deserts are dry areas with very little water. Can you think of any other natural resources?
Now let’s play a game! I’m going to describe a physical feature and you have to guess what it is. Ready?
- This is a very tall hill that reaches up to the sky. (Mountain)
- This is a low area between mountains. (Valley)
- This is a stream of water that goes through the land. (River)
- This is a huge body of saltwater that covers most of the Earth’s surface. (Ocean)
- This is an area with lots of trees that help animals and people breathe. (Forest)
- This is a dry area with very little water. (Desert)
Great job, guys! Now you know all about physical features. Remember, physical features are things in nature that we can see and measure. They are sorted into groups like landforms, bodies of water, and natural resources. Keep exploring and learning about the world around you!
