You have been chosen to organize a field trip You have been chosen to organize a field trip. Your teachers can't seem to decide between visiting a volcano, reef, canyon, glacier, or geyser.  They need your help! You need to visit the websites on class research – Social Studies – Landforms and learn about all of these.  That way you can give them your choice of where the classes should go and why. What landform did you choose? What is the name of it? Where is it (state, country)? Describe the landform. Insert a picture of the landform. (Don’t forget to cite where you got it) Why do you want to take a field trip here?
