Students differentiate between weathering, erosion, and deposition in this lesson plan for students grades 4-6.

This lesson introduces students to weathering. Students will watch videos and complete drawings and diagrams as they learn about weathering, erosion, and deposition. Students will complete a simple demonstration and relate it to how the...

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

Explains what standing rocks are, how they are formed by erosion, and gives the names of some well-known ones in Indiana.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Looks at how wind causes erosion, how sediments are deposited by wind, and ways to prevent wind erosion.

For this activity, students will discover some of the factors that influence weathering of the monuments in a cemetery. These factors may include the type of rock, length of time the rock has been exposed to the elements or the amount of...

This lesson plan will demonstrate the mechanical weathering process known as frost wedging and the biological weathering process caused by plants. The materials required include plaster of Paris, balloons, seeds, paper plates and a...

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.

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...

Eight hands-on lessons module where students learn about rocks and landforms. These inquiry-based investigations explore the different types of rocks, how they are formed, the different types of landforms, and the effects of glaciers on...

In this field investigation, learners will investigate processes of deposition that have contributed to the current Minnesota sediments and landscape. After learning about weathering and erosion and having a short introduction to...

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

Learn about the natural process of erosion.

Get an overview of the influences of weathering.

Learn the basics of the process of weathering.

Learn how weathering changes rocks.

Covers the three main types of rocks, different weathering processes, erosion, and the rock cycle.

This series of photos dramatically illustrates the process of mechanical weathering known as rock abrasion. Taken over a 100 year span, you can see the effects of rock abrasion on Jump-off Joe, a sea stack at Nye Beach in Oregon. The...

In this video from Nature, learn about the erosive action of water on the Hawaiian landscape and human efforts to limit it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses how flowing water causes erosion; describes how runoff, streams, and rivers change Earth's surface; and identifies features caused by groundwater erosion.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses how waves cause erosion of shorelines, features formed by wave deposition, and ways to protect shorelines from wave erosion.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identifies causes and effects of landslides and mudslides and explains how slump and creep occur.

Fourth graders explore the erosive effects of waves, streams, glaciers, and wind.

A lab activity where students study the" relationships between landscape appearance, topography and underlying geology". In this particular activity students explore the landscape region of New York State to see the effects of...
