Weathering and Erosion
Students will conduct mini-experiments to observe the effects of weathering by water and wind. Students will take measurements and reflect on the results of these mini-experiments. Students will also collect data at different habitats and observe examples of weathering or erosion in real life.
Students will:
• Understand the definition of weathering
• Observe, take measurements, and discuss the effects of weathering and compare these to real-world situations
• Brainstorm ways to monitor weathering around their home or schoolyard
