Describing Place: The Forest

Explore a lush forest with this second- and third-grade geography worksheet! Students will use what they know about natural and human features to describe a forest scene. Learners must identify natural features and human features, then write sentences to describe examples of each.

This worksheet helps learners apply their knowledge of landforms, bodies of water, and human-made features to describe a specific area. Identifying these characteristics will benefit students both inside and outside of the classroom—it will build geography and map-reading skills, and it can also support students as they begin to learn about habitats.
