They will recognize that landforms are the result of the interaction of tectonic forces and the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. The results of these processes can sometimes be catastrophic and result in loss of life and property. Natural agents of erosion generally driven by gravity remove, transport, and deposit weathered rock particles. Each agent of erosion produces distinctive changes in the material that it transp...

4. Investigating Earth's Surface
...ammoth Cave, Kentucky + Grand Canyon, Arizona You may wish to show the images and see if students can identify the locations. As you view the images, ask students to identify landforms in these images. 4. As a class, describe the natural forces that shape these landforms, including the following: + erosion + weathering + movement of tectonic plates + movement of glaciers + deposition + fire 5. Have students work with a partner to find other landforms shaped by natural forces. Each pair should draw a picture of the landform and write a few sentences underneath about how it was formed. 6. Once students have presen...

...to begin describing the earth by careful examination of rocks that are lying around and easily available. The history of the earth is written in its crust for those who are able to read it. By paying attention to color, texture, and hardness, children will be empowered to speculate on the story of deposition and subsequent erosion suggested by each specimen. Opportunities for careful observation, drawing, and writing will come up in the course of the lesson. It is designed for a general fifth grade class with several special education students mainstreamed for science. Materials: Children, as homework, will bri...
