This lesson plan is part of a larger unit on physical and chemical changes. I have included this particular lesson to widen the students scope of knowledge on landscapes. This lesson primarily focuses on physical change, and introduces students to the conception of “Turtle Island” and “The Woman Who Fell From The Sky”. Done respectfully this lesson is meant to decolonize the students thinking about how the land was formed. It confronts with with notions of Indigenous epistemology and asks them to be respectful of all ways of being and knowing.
