Video Learning Notes
Wind and water can change the shape of the land by moving soil and rocks, a process called erosion. People use different solutions like dikes, windbreaks, and planting vegetation to slow or prevent these changes. By investigating and comparing these solutions, students learn how to design and evaluate ways to protect the land. Scientific practices such as observing, measuring, modeling, and communicating help students understand Earth’s systems and the role of engineering in solving real-world problems.
Learning Goals
- Ask questions and define problems based on observations about how wind and water change land.
- Plan and conduct simple investigations to test solutions that slow or prevent land changes caused by wind or water.
- Use tools and models to observe, measure, and compare different solutions.
- Collect and record data using pictures, words, and simple graphs.
- Compare multiple solutions and evaluate which work best to protect the land from wind and water erosion.
