Soil Erosion
Second graders complete activities to observe the effects of erosion. In this erosion lesson, 2nd graders define erosion and learn the process. Students complete an erosion experiment.
Curated OER
Water: Naturally Cleaned
Students use stream trays covered in different types of rocks or soil to investigate infiltrates and runoff. In this water pollution lesson, students work in groups with stream trays that have different substrates. They write a paragraph...
Curated OER
Erosion Patterns
Fifth graders explore erosion and the different types of sediment. In this erosion patterns lesson students complete an activity and divide into groups and conduct an experiment.
Curated OER
Erosion: Changing the Face of Earth
Fourth graders explore how the landscape of the planet can be changed by different elements of wind, water, ice and chemicals through hands-on activities. They examine pictures of areas around town and discuss anything they think is out...

Water Word Search Worksheet
In this water words worksheet, students study 15 words that pertain to water. Students find the words in a word search puzzle. Included are words about the water cycle, erosion and hydrology.
Curated OER
Water Group Creative Writing
In this water vocabulary worksheet, learners collaborate with classmates to write a group story. Students have 25 minutes to write a brief story using the 15 words in the box.
Curated OER
How Does Vegetation Decrease Erosion?
In this erosion worksheet, students will compare what happens to soil when water flows over soil with no vegetation and soil with vegetation. Then, students will complete four short answer questions.
Curated OER
Erosion Deposition Review
For this erosion deposition worksheet, students fill in 36 blanks to complete sentences about the formation of soil, the forces of erosion, physical and chemical weathering, sediments and soil deposition.
Curated OER
An Erosion Survey
In this erosion worksheet, students draw a map of their school ground or neighborhood, mark examples of weathering and erosion, and list the examples on spaces provided. A chart with examples of different types of weathering and erosion...
Curated OER
Dust in the Wind; Chemicals in the Water
Students explore mechanical and chemical weathering at stations. They articulate some mechanisms of chemical and mechanical weathering through exploration in a lab. Students stations describe how chemical weathering differs from...
Curated OER
Water Wash
Students define watersheds, ground water and nonpoint source pollution. They describe how rainwater moves on the surface, as well as underground, as part of the water cycle. They recognize what flooding is as well as its causes.
Curated OER
FOLLOW THAT WATER
Young scholars build simple stream tables and vary the angle of the stream tables in order to simulate different flow rates and compare the results. They observe various features formed in a stream table by flowing water and compare...
