7th Grade Environment Activities

Protect Our Landforms! Help Florida! Task Look out the window at the landscape of your area – what shapes do you see? Are there mountains? Flat land? Valleys or canyons? Every state has a unique shape. Did you know that the shape of the land around you will change over time? Wind, rain, or even human actions can cause the landforms around us to weather and erode. Sometimes, this is a natural part of the earth’s process. But other times, people can affect the earth by building, developing the land or pollution! Is this happening in your country? It’s up to you to find out how you can help your Florida home. You will be researching the Landforms in Florida, research how it has changed over the past 100 years, and what people are doing today that could hurt it. Then, you’ll create a Public Service Announcement to tell your family and friends how they can help to protect the Landforms in Florida.

In less than 30 years, the numbers of giraffe have drastically decreased by almost 40 percent. That makes giraffe in more danger of extinction than the elephant. In 2014, the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, estimated that there are only about 80,000 giraffes in the wild. In 2019, nations of the world moved to classify giraffes as an endangered species. A committee at the World Wildlife Conference approved the protection with a vote of 106-21. The main cause for their dwindling population is destruction of their habitat, climate change and worsening drought and illegal trade of giraffe body parts. Additionally, civil unrest in the areas where giraffes roam are also causes for their declining numbers. Learn about the giraffe with this web quest!
