Virtual Tour Plan

For my virtual tour I chose to teach a 4th grade science standard. This is standard number 5 objective 1 that discusses the different environments in Utah and their characteristics. I chose to visit 4 different environments and compare them using google earth tools. I felt this standard was appropriate for this type of lesson because I can view the places more in depth, survey the surrounding area, measure length and width and elevation easily, and zoom into see details. By using an online source like this students can also easily research additional information that they wish. This is an easy and fun way to explore the state of Utah.
