Students in Miss Calloway's class at Mt. Loafer Elementary participated in a hands-on learning project focused on Utah's physical geography, according to a notice on the school's website.
The class studied various landforms, including mountains, canyons, valleys, rivers, and deserts, and discussed how these features impact where people live and build communities. To apply this knowledge, students acted as geographers by being assigned a family and tasked with finding the ideal location for them to reside.
Using salt dough, the students created models of their chosen Utah locations. These models included physical features as well as man-made elements such as roads, buildings, and communities.
The school expressed gratitude to the parents who assisted by making the salt dough for the project.
