Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learned how natural forces like water, ice, wind, and vegetation cause weathering and erosion, changing Earth's surface over time. They practiced asking scientific questions, conducting investigations, using tools to observe and measure changes, organizing data, and developing models to explain these processes. Understanding weathering and erosion helps us appreciate how landscapes form and change.

Learning Goals

• Ask scientific questions about weathering and erosion based on observations.
• Plan and conduct investigations to observe and measure effects of weathering or erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation.
• Use tools such as hand lenses and rulers to collect accurate observations and measurements.
• Construct graphic organizers like tables or charts to record data on weathering and erosion.
• Develop and use models to represent the processes of weathering and erosion and explain their effects on Earth's surface.
