I haven't posted much on homeschooling, if anything, and I saw a picture from the Rift Valley in Africa yesterday that blew me away. I'll admit that I had never heard of Africa's Rift Valley. I decided to put together a small unit study for my kids and found some great resources!
I found some websites I'll have my kids visit:
Geology.com
Exploring the Environment- if you play around with this site, there are numerous resources, including modules and teacher resources.
National Geographic
Kidcyber
There were also numerous videos:
Great Rift Valley ~ Africa - YouTube
Life Force: Africa's Rift Valley - YouTube
Mutant Planet: African Rift Valley Lakes : Videos : Science Channel- This is an episode, I don't know how long it will be available. You can also watch it on Amazon if you have Prime membership.
Geography Lesson: East African Rift Valley - YouTube
Other resources:
How The World Goes Round: The Great African Rift Valley A2 Unit Four Case Study - blog
Geolor's Earth Science Issues
I think my kids will have fun with this!!
We will definitely be doing this lesson, great idea and very interesting. I would love for you to check out my blog about homeschooling activities etc!
