You must include original work, any work purely copied will not be accepted for grading. You may use pictures from the internet. Your writing must be your own, you can use resources from anywhere but you MUST rewrite it in your own words. Use your vocabulary list to explore, evaluate, and describe your landform.
You will go to the Lab Links folder on the desktop of the computer and research and investigate your landform.
The last page of this research document is for listing the resources you used to answer the questions.
