Modeling Earth: Land and Water

The video tutorial introduces a first-grade class project about Earth's land and water. It begins with an introduction, followed by a discussion on Earth's composition. An experiment is conducted to determine the ratio of water to land on Earth. The class then identifies various water and land features. A hands-on activity involves creating a model of Earth, focusing on land and water features, and concludes with students creating landforms using a hands-on approach.
