Melanie B. I have found some wonderful resources to use with my students through Lesson Planet. I am a former public school teacher who has taken on a private home school in order to meet the needs of those students who are not being served properly in the public school setting. I want to shift the focus from standardized tests back to LEARNING.

The Dust Bowl: An Economic and Environmental American Tragedy 
1
7th - 9th
4.0/5 Stars

Many of us focus on the causes and effects of the Dust Bowl as it relates to people. Why not shift the focus of cause and effects to how the Dust Bowl affected the environment. Here is a different take on the tried-and-true Dust Bowl lesson. Learners will discover not only how the great drought changed people's lives, they'll also get an idea of how it changed our landscape.

The Waters of Change

8th
4.0/5 Stars

Eighth graders research about causes of coastal erosion. In this earth science lesson, 8th graders create a newsletter outlining its harmful environmental effects. They share their work in class.

External Forces Shaping the Earth
33
7th - 8th
2.0/5 Stars

In this external forces worksheet, students use a chart to take notes on the cause or causes of sediment, erosion, etc. Students then take notes on how various forces shape the earth.

I Don't Think We're in Kansas Anymore

2nd - 5th
4.0/5 Stars

Students explore erosion and the weathering process. In this erosion instructional activity, students discover the causes of America's Dust Bowl, ways to prevent erosion and predict and explain effects of natural events. Students watch a video and research websites to gain information.

Blowing and Flowing

5th
4.0/5 Stars

Fifth graders compare and evaluate the rate of erosion from water and wind on three type of landscape: bare land, land with sparse vegetation, and land covered by dense vegetation.

Losing Ground

2nd - 5th
4.0/5 Stars

Students examine the story of the Dust Bowl as they discover how farming practices of the early 20th Century caused soil erosion in the North American grasslands. They investigate how mulch reduces water and wind erosion in two activities.

I Don't Think We're in Kansas Anymore (Grades 2-5)

2nd - 5th
3.0/5 Stars

Young scholars give examples of erosion and weathering processes. They determine causes of America's Dust Bowl phenomena.Students define erosion as the condition in which the earth's surface is worn away by the action of water and wind.

Environment: Erosion Boxes
37
4th
3.0/5 Stars

Fourth graders discover how the processes of erosion and weathering alter the physical characteristics of the environment. In a student log,they record the various types of erosion and list ways to prevent it. Using clear, plastic boxes, 4th graders construct erosion trays containing sand, small rocks, and sod to demonstrate the effects of erosion.

Wind
52
7th - 8th
3.0/5 Stars

In this wind instructional activity, students fill in 15 different question blanks that related to wind. First, they define wind erosion and what it picks up and why. Then, students determine the most common form of wind deposit and what type of erosion forms with abrasion and deflation. They also draw a two-step picture that shows how a dune is formed.

Structure of the Earth

6th
3.0/5 Stars

Sixth graders investigate earthquakes and volcanoes. They demonstrate fault lines with a folded piece of paper, conduct an erosion experiment, and construct a volcano using clay, baking soda and vinegar.
