Students study the changes in land formations caused by water erosion. They work in groups to build a model of a mountain composed of materials that will best withstand water erosion.

Students explore the concept of erosion. In this erosion activity, students discuss the effects of 2 classroom demonstrations that replicate coastal erosion.

Students pretend the area they live in is subject to wind, waves and rain. In groups, they pretend they are a groups of meteorologists or geologists and are to report on the weather and damage that could occur there. Each group develops...

Fifth graders study the processes of erosion, transportation, and deposition in soil. They walk outside the school to see examples and then accurately create a physical model which shows each type of soil movement and allows them to...

Students explore how water and waves erode the earth. In this erosion lesson students determine the processes of wave erosion and building.

Hold onto your hats for an in-depth look at erosion and sediment deposition along ocean shores! It begins with four pages of vocabulary definitions and describes the coastal profile. It delves into the different ways that sediments are...

Third graders explore how barrier islands work. In this erosion lesson, 3rd graders create barrier islands in stream tables and simulate wave action to see how it affects their island.

Second graders explore erosion and find the factors effecting erosion of hillsides.   In this erosion instructional activity, 2nd graders experiment by creating a hillside and simulating rain.  Students discuss and record...

Students explore how wave energy that is generated and transferred in the ocean. They explore the aspects of a wave and how its energy affects the ecology of the seashore. Students engage in an activity that uses the nature of science...

Fourth graders investigate the causes of erosion. Through several demonstrations including one using sugar cubes and warm water, they observe the effects of erosion. In groups, 4th graders conduct similar experiments and record their...

Throughout this earth science exam, high school geologists complete a series of multiple-choice and short-answer questions about the solar system, atmosphere, and Earth system. This is an amazing test, as are all of the exams developed...

Students conduct an experiment on beach erosion. In this earth science instructional activity, students create a beach model and use tongue depressor to produce waves. They write a journal about their observations.

Continental drift happens over millions of years, but new perspective shows much faster changes. An informative resource offers a short term perspective using a series of satellite images. Viewers observe major changes to a coastline in...

Every topic under the sun is covered in this New York State Regents High School Examination. With an earth science focus, participants answer 85 questions about the solar system, geologic time, rocks and minerals, landforms, and more! An...

Junior geologists address 50 multiple-choice questions and 35 short-answer questions about the Earth system. Plenty of visuals are included for interpretation: diagrams, graphs, maps, photographs, laboratory setups, weather symbols, and...

Fourth graders use damp sand, a baking pan, and water to simulate erosion. In this erosion lesson plan, 4th graders participate in a simulation to show what moving water does to land.

In this earth and space science GED worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 7 clues about topics such as earthquakes, the Milky Way Galaxy and weathering and erosion. Students are given a word bank to use to complete the...

Learners investigate the human impact on coastal land. In this coastal surveys lesson plan, students choose a coastal area and complete a survey sheet about the area. They choose a topic about a sea side village called Dunwich to prepare...

Students use beach profile data to analyze how erosion and sediment transport changed seashore slopes. In this geology lesson plan, students plot the data provided and analyze erosion patterns. They also assess coastal erosion management...

Students working in small groups examine beach sand to discover signs of erosion, weathering, ocean currents and waves. They present their findings to the class.

Students discuss as a class how waves are formed. In groups, they participate in an experiment in which they can determine the effect of the moon on waves and discuss how Galveston Island formed over time. They identify the soil makeup...

In this using land worksheet, students determine if effects on the environment are due to natural or man-made causes. This worksheet has 10 fill in the blank and 4 short answer questions.

Explore a variety of science concepts in an interactive textbook created for middle school scholars. A lengthy table of contents takes readers to pages comprised of a subject overview, outline, and summary. Follow links further to find...

Students explain how satellites help scientists to see more than with the unaided eye and how Landsat technology works. Students identify vegetation and fire sites in the rainforest and detect erosion along rivers. They are able to use...
