Curated OER
Mini-Landslide
Students explore how different materials (sand, gravel, lava rock) with different water contents on different slopes result in landslides of different severity. They measure the severity by how far the landslide debris extends into model...

The Slope of Land in Your Community
Students participate in finding the slope of a sand pile and then other materials. In this geology lesson plan, students describe what happens to the piles of materials when they are poured through a funnel. Students measure the slope...
Curated OER
Trees and Erosion
Students examine the connection between trees and erosion. In this erosion lesson students experiment with the effects of rain on a hillside. Students investigate the number of trees and the amount of erosion.

Watch Out for Landslides
Young scholars conduct an experiment. In this landslides lesson, students learn about landslides and discuss how they could minimize the risk of landslides. Young scholars complete an experiment to see if changing the slope of the land...
Curated OER
TE Lesson: Land on the Run
Learners study the causes of different types and speeds of landslides. They determine that landslides are the result of gravity, friction, and the materials involved. They examine the step engineers are taking to prevent and avoid...
Curated OER
Landslides
Pupils study a natural disaster. In this landslides facts lesson, students discover how and why landslides happen and how they have an effect on people. They discuss this information as a class and then work in small groups to create...
Curated OER
Landslides!
Middle schoolers discover soil and Earth movement by experimenting in class. In this Earth Science lesson plan, students utilize a stream table, soil, graduated cylinder and water to create a re-enactment of a landslide. Middle...
Curated OER
Gravity and Erosion
Students examine how gravity affects erosion and deposition through teacher demonstation, and discuss its impact on their communities.
