Places and regions . Recognize the physical characteristics of places and regions and how people affect them. Interpret how physical processes shape places and influence human activity. I developed this lesson for my one computer classroom. I print the pages and photocopy them so that I can keep a 3-ring binder on the shelf of the computer cart.
Students access the binder to make log entries when it is their turn.
Students do not collect data for all activities every day. The position of reporter rotates so that students get a turn at least once a month. Since students are required to work with a partner, it is often more frequent. The number of activities completed each day varies with the skill and speed of the students involved and time constraints on other class work. This activity could easily be adapted to a lab situation in which a full class could complete the data entry in about 30 minutes.
