[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.

Young scholars learn the components of the rock cycle and how rocks can change over time under the influence of weathering, erosion, pressure and heat. They learn about geotechnical engineering and the role these engineers play in the...

A unit on rocks and minerals presented with interactive and classroom activities. Gain understanding of rocks, weather, erosion, earthquakes, and relative dating with this resource.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart introduces the concepts of weathering and erosion. Both physical and chemical weathering, and their causes are discussed. Video is embedded. The flipchart also has assessment questions...

Studies weathering and provides a brief overview of what weathering is and how it effects the environment.

This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their...

A rich collection of highly engaging learning modules on topics related to the natural environment. Covers four main areas - plate tectonics, forms and processes, weather and climate, and rainforest and desert. Within each of these,...

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

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

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...

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate the importance of rocks, soils and minerals in engineering and how using the right material for the right job is important. The students build three different sand castles and test them for...

Learn about physical and chemical weathering.

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

Learn about biological factors in the weathering and breakdown of rocks.

A definition of the process of weathering.

This instructional activity introduces and describes the main types of erosion (i.e., chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Learners learn examples of each type of erosion and discuss how erosion changes the surface of the...

Students us the GO Inquire online tool to develop knowledge and skills in the concepts of erosion, transportation, and deposition.

In this activity, students explore the effect of chemical erosion on statues and monuments. They use chalk to see what happens when limestone is placed in liquids with different pH values. They also learn several things that engineers...

The Gravestone Project, part of the global citizen science program called EarthTrek, seeks volunteers to visit cemeteries around the world and collect scientific data on how marble gravestones are weathering.

During a study of rock weathering, students model the process of rock abrasion.

Everything you need to know about sedimentary rocks and the processes by which they are created, including weathering, soils, environments, and classification.

In this amazing online tutorial you will learn about how water, mass wasting, weathering, and erosion have help shape the landforms on Earth. The lesson includes many helpful interactive materials to prepare help you understand landscape...

[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.

Young students are introduced to the complex systems of the Earth through numerous lessons on its natural resources, processes, weather, climate and landforms. Key earth science topics include rocks, soils and minerals, water and natural...
