This page is a collection of physical geography information provided by parents and students.
For more information, see the ADE podcast Episode 226: Making Plans for Physical Geography where Morgan Conner outlines how we can prepare to teach physical geography in our home state or country. On that page you can also find a link to a nature walk video that Morgan did for the ADE at HOME conference in 2021, and a Planning Tool worksheet to help you do the research for your own area.
My hope in creating this page, is that as we all research our own area, we can share what we learn and help each other along. Therefore, if you do gather any information on your state in general or one of the regions in your state, please share it with the SMH Community by emailing it to [email protected].
For an example, see Tennessee, General State Information and the Valley and Ridge region, that I prepared.
