Activities help students understand erosion.

A detailed outline containing a large amount of material on wind erosion, describing wind transport mechanisms, and wind landform formation.

A wonderfully detailed introduction to the topic of wind erosion and landforms. Contains many illustrations and maps which show the concepts that are presented in the text.

View videos and photos from the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew and see how the earth's landforms changed as a result of the heavy winds and rain. Weathering and erosion made a new landform and dramatically changed the coastline....

This website explains the problem that erosion has created for this particular lighthouse. There is a detailed explanation of what is causing the erosion and how to fix it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Summarizes the key points about the six types of erosion and deposition that create Earth's landforms. Includes a few questions to check for understanding.

Educate students about soil erosion with this thorough lesson which focuses on the geography of Guinea.

In this investigation, middle schoolers will use sand to build a mountain and then use a straw and watering can to simulate wind erosion and water erosion. Students will make observations and then propose ways to slow the erosion and/or...

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their...

In this lab activity, students will look for evidence of erosion in river or streams. This activity should take place after students have observed erosion in a model.

AtoZteacherstuff.com presents "Identifying Erosion", a lesson plan for grade levels 3-5. Related URLS and teacher feedback provided.

Different types of erosion are discussed along with suggested ways to solve erosion problems on farms in this two-page article.

Examples, with images, of different types of landforms created by water and wind erosion.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How winds erode surfaces and form various terrain features.

Observe how wind and water reshape the face of Earth's surface with these slideshows. Students will use evidence from videos and images to observe and describe how wind and water contribute to natural events that are constantly reshaping...

Students collect evidence to investigate erosion and deposition around the schoolyard.
