Students work in small groups with local photos, a large county map, short ranger story notes, and sentence strips from the launch to sort evidence into categories: travel, recreation, and conservation. The class then names patterns about how coastlines, hills, valleys, trails, and water features help or limit what people do. Each group records 3 evidence cards that connect one landform to one human activity and adds them to a shared anchor chart.
