Step-by-step solution for: Texas Landmarks Sorting Worksheet | Teach Starter
Okay, I see the fifth fact and image pair. The text reads "The tallest column monument in the world." Below it is a map of Texas with a star in the eastern part of the state, which corresponds to the Houston area. The image below shows a very tall, slender column with a star on top, which is the San Jacinto Monument located near Houston. This fact clearly matches the San Jacinto Monument.
Now that I have identified all the facts and images, I will match them to the correct landmarks on the right-hand sheet.
I will now review the facts and their corresponding landmarks:
1. Fact: "Only U.S. national park that contains an entire mountain range." Image: Map with star in west Texas, image of San Jacinto Monument. *This fact actually describes Big Bend National Park, which is located in west Texas and contains the Chisos Mountains. The image of the San Jacinto Monument seems to be a mismatch for this fact.*
2. Fact: "Largest commercial caverns in the U.S." Image: Map with star in central-southern Texas (San Antonio), image of cave entrance. *This matches Natural Bridge Caverns.*
3. Fact: "Texas Legislature and the governor work here." Image: Map with star in central Texas (Austin), image of the Texas State Capitol. *This does not match any of the options on the right-hand sheet, as the Texas State Capitol is not listed.*
4. Fact: "Official National Aeronautics and Space Administration visitor center." Image: Map with star in southeastern Texas (Houston), image of NASA building. *This matches the NASA Space Center.*
5. Fact: "The tallest column monument in the world." Image: Map with star in eastern Texas (Houston area), image of San Jacinto Monument. *This matches the San Jacinto Monument.*
It appears there might be an error in the worksheet, as the first fact about the national park is paired with an image of the San Jacinto Monument, which is incorrect. The fact should be paired with an image of Big Bend National Park. Also, the fact about the Texas Legislature does not correspond to any of the landmarks listed on the right-hand sheet.
Given the instructions to match the facts and images with the correct Texas landmarks, I will proceed with the most logical matches based on the facts themselves, ignoring the mismatched images where necessary.
- NASA Space Center: Matches the fact "Official National Aeronautics and Space Administration visitor center."
- Big Bend National Park: Matches the fact "Only U.S. national park that contains an entire mountain range."
- Natural Bridge Caverns: Matches the fact "Largest commercial caverns in the U.S."
- San Jacinto Monument: Matches the fact "The tallest column monument in the world."
The fact about the Texas Legislature does not have a corresponding landmark on the right-hand sheet, so it cannot be matched.
Therefore, the correct matching is:
- NASA Space Center: Official National Aeronautics and Space Administration visitor center.
- Big Bend National Park: Only U.S. national park that contains an entire mountain range.
- Natural Bridge Caverns: Largest commercial caverns in the U.S.
- San Jacinto Monument: The tallest column monument in the world.
The fact about the Texas Legislature is not applicable to the given landmarks.
