You can type in geomorphology and use the various terms in a search engine.\nYou could read your Geology 101 text book.

what class are you taking.  You could make a model of the Earth's interior if your doing space science.  Or you could write a paper about a current event in science like stem cell research.

Highschool--- anything math related.\n\nCollege- anything math related, statistics, Experimental Psychology, and a couple of others.

Well, as a last resort you could always try Stone Lab, it's located on Lake Erie, which obviously isn't an ocean, but it's still fun and there is a variety of wildlife and plantlife in the lake and it would be relevant to your studies.\nhttp://ohioseagrant.osu.edu/stonelab/

This is a little old, but good:\nhttp://www.tenet.edu/teks/web/science/el.html\n\nHere are some good links:\nhttp://www.bcps.org/offices/lis/curric/elem/Escience.html\n\nI just did a Yahoo! search on "science models elementary" so if you wanted to look for middle school, just change the search.\n\nHere are a few of my bookmarks which might be helpful, too:\nhttp://www.refdesk.com/\nhttp://www.howstuffworks.com/\nhttp://www.thinkquest.org/support/faqlibrary.htm\nhttp://www.nas.edu/\n\nI'm not certain this is what you were looking for, but it should get you started even if it's not exactly what you wanted. Your question was a little unclear. "Model" has a lot of meanings!

On Earth, soil is generally considered to be weathered material capable of supporting plant life.[2] Soil forms through a variety of soil formation processes, and includes weathered rock "parent material" combined with dead and living organic matter and air. Soils are vital to all life on Earth because they support the growth of plants, which supply food and oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and nitrogen.\n\nIntroduction\nBecause of it's position in the landscape and its dynamic physical, chemical, and biologic functions, soil is among our most important natural resources. Indeed, engineers, agronomists, chemists, geologists, geographers, biologists, microbiologists, sylviculturists, sanitarians, archaeologists, and specialists in regional planning, all depend on, and contribute to, knowledge of soils. While the general concept of soil is well established, the definition of soil varies, hinging on the perspective of the discipline or occupation employing it as a resource.\n\nSoil occupies the pedosphere, one of Earth's spheres that the geosciences use to conceptually organise the Earth. This is the conceptual perspective of pedology and edaphology, the two main branches of soil science. Both branches apply a combination of soil physics, soil chemistry, and soil biology. Due to the numerous interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere that are hosted within the pedosphere, more integrated, less soil-centric concepts are also valuable. Many concepts essential to understanding soil come from individuals not identifiable strictly as soil scientists. This highlights the interdisciplinary nature of soil concepts.\n\nThe understanding of soil is incomplete. Despite the duration of mankind's dependence on and curiosity about soil, exploring the diversity and dynamic of this opaque resource continues to reward. New and refreshing avenues of soil research are compelled by our need to understand soil in the context of climate change [3], greenhouse gases [4] [5], and carbon sequestration. [6]\n\nVasily V. Dokuchaev, a Russian geographer, is credited with identifying soil as a resource whose distinctness and complexity deserved to be separated conceptually from geology and crop production and treated as a whole.\n\nPreviously, soil had been considered a product of physicochemical transformations of rocks, a dead substrate from which plants derive nutritious mineral elements. Soil and bedrock were in fact equated. Dokuchaev considers the soil as a natural body having its own genesis and its own history of development, a body with complex and multiform processes taking place within it. The soil is considered as different from bedrock. The latter becomes soil under the influence of a series of soil-formation factors (climate, vegetation, country, relief and age). According to him, soil should be called the "daily" or outward horizons of rocks regardless of the type; they are changed naturally by the common effect of water, air and various kinds of living and dead organisms. [7] \n\nWhat is soil?\nSoil classification\nMain article: soil classification \nSoil classification is a contentious subject, from the structure of the classification system itself, to the definitions of classes and types, and finally in the application in the field. Every classification system starts with its own individual definition of soil. The essential problem is that soils do not reproduce or have DNA like living organisms, so no "objective" criteria can be used to choose among classifications. The most qualified specialists in the world can and do spend hours during a field trip at each soil profile, arguing about the classification. Yet, in a well-constructed system, the different names refer to similar concepts, so that interpretations do not vary widely.\n\nThe Unified Soil Classification System (or USCS) is used in engineering, geology and soil science disciplines to describe the texture, grain size,

You might want to use some pictures of the Earth taken from space contrasted with pictures of how people described the earth centuries ago...\nFor this, you may want to use the NASA's website: www.nasa.gov...and for the old views by searching in googles-images...Here I am giving you a link: \nwww. melbourneobservatory.com ...\n\nFor the diverse environments, you might present pictures of the Poles, the Tropical Jungles, the different Mountains from the different continents....Just to give a little splash of colour....You can also add some satellite pictures of Earth or from different places that you want to show in your project...For that, use the Google Earth....It will provide you with amazing pictures of wherever you want...To make it even cooler, try to zoom in the places you are seen and after copy the pictures, print them and use them...It will amaze your teacher and classmates...\n\nGood luck
