Students rotate through Orange County photos, a large county map, and simple landform stations with sand, water trays, and trail models. A county parks ranger shares a short story about a local hill, trail, or coastal place, and students mark sticky dots on the class map where landforms affect hiking, driving, or play. The class closes by naming the driving question and recording one wonder question about how geography shapes daily life.
