This is for Grade 4 science Standard 5 Objective 1C "Locate examples of areas that have characteristics of wetlands, forests, or deserts in Utah."

I decided to do my virtual tour on this standard because I know that I learn with visuals better than any other way. I also felt that literally showing students that these three environments all exist in this state is a pretty rare and incredible thing. It also allows students to better understand the terminology because of the hands on visuals.
