Weathering and Erosion Outdoor Observation
MS-ESS2-2 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales.
Learning Target
Understand how the Earth's surface has been affected differently by the forces of weathering and erosion..
Success Criteria
students observe three locations to identify the impacts of weathering and erosion
students determine the amount of impact caused by weathering and erosion
Questions to Ponder
Do you think weathering or erosion has more of an impact on the Earth's surface?
Where have you seen the most weathering and erosion where you live?
Outdoor Observation
We will observe three different locations to see examples of weathering and/or erosion.
As you collect your data, answer the following questions about each site:
Did you observe weathering or erosion or both at this site?
Describe what you saw.
To what extent was the surface of the Earth impacted by weathering and erosion?
