This website uses photographs to show the human impact that wind erosion had on people's lives during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

An informative site that examines the multiple causes of soil erosion and possible remedies.

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

Seven hands-on lessons module allows middle schoolers to learn about soils. These inquiry-based investigations explore the kinds and arrangements of materials in soils, the amount of water that flows through soil, and how soil is eroded.

Students learn about how soil is made, who really needs soil, and what happens to soil if you don't take care of it.

Students learn about water erosion through an experimental process in which small-scale buildings are placed along a simulated riverbank to experience a range of flooding conditions. They make model buildings either with a 3D printer or...

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.

This website uses space photographs to illustrate the impact of wind erosion. Clicking on a picture will enlarge it to provide a better view.

This lesson plan simulates the effects of wind erosion on sandy coastlines, and beaches.

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.

In this lab, students investigate whether the rate of water falling (rain) affects the amount of erosion (soil movement). This experiment could lead to further questions: how does grass or rocks effect soil erosion, does erosion lead to...

Step into Dirtmeister's Science Lab and discover how rain shapes the Earth. Learn about erosion then do the experiment.

Students identify examples and effects of erosion in a natural outdoor setting, and then explain how erosion affects the environment.

By the end of this unit you should be able to: list the seven characteristics used to describe soils, to distinguish one soil from another soil, and to distinguish one soil layer from another soil layer; explain the impact of soil...

Rainforests at the Crossroads: Collect runoff from two simulated sites: 1) a tray with soil, 2) a tray with soil and vegetation, to see how vegetation affects erosion and to compare and examine the runoff from the sites.

Kids can color this downloadable cartoon and learn about soil conservation practices in farming.

Take this ten multiple choice question quiz on soil.

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.

Students explore how Earth processes shape the land, and how important managing the land can be in response to these natural activities.

Located on the University of Missouri campus the research conducted here helped establish soil conservation policy in the United States. The organism Streptomyces aureofaciens the original source of the drug Chlortetracycline...
