Curated OER
Agents of Erosion and Deposition
In this science worksheet, middle schoolers play a game of shoreline charades using picture symbols and other games to cover the concept of erosion or deposition.
Curated OER
Erosion: Slip Sliding Away
Fourth graders investigate the causes of erosion. Through several demonstrations including one using sugar cubes and warm water, they observe the effects of erosion. In groups, 4th graders conduct similar experiments and record their...
Curated OER
Blowing and Flowing
Fifth graders compare and evaluate the rate of erosion from water and wind on three type of landscape: bare land, land with sparse vegetation, and land covered by dense vegetation.
Curated OER
Erosion by the Wind
Fifth graders simulate wind driven soil erosion by using paper confetti to demonstrate the movement of the soil. They write about three examples of soil erosion found in their community.

Glaciers Worksheet #1
The landscape impacted by glacier activity is drawn at the top of this worksheet. Ten multiple choice questions follow, some relating to the diagram, and some about the quality of soil left by glaciation. It is not often that you come...
Curated OER
Water - The Transporter
Students discuss the role of water in transporting sediments and dissolved particles. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students read about how water transports sediments and changes the landscape. They complete a variety of...
Curated OER
Earth Shaped by Water
In this Earth worksheet, middle schoolers review the different ways water shapes the Earth's surface. This worksheet has 1 short answer and 10 matching questions.
Curated OER
Deposition
In this earth science worksheet, students study the diagram on the sheet and describe the river valley. Then they list the main type of work done by the river at a specific stage. Students also explain the formation of the floodplain.
Curated OER
Geography Action! Rivers 2001- Stream Table
Students use a stream table to simulate river and watershed systems. The affect of gradient on stream flow as well as erosion and deposition are two items that students examine.
Curated OER
The Wedding of a Mountain
Learners examine the differences between weathering, erosion, and deposition as it pertains to mountains.
Curated OER
Weathering and Erosion
In this weathering activity, students define 23 terms associated with erosion and weathering such as flood plain, moraine, and deposition. Then students use these terms in a sentence.
Curated OER
Geology
Young scholars, in groups, observe the effect of water and ice on surface features of the land. They alsoexplore erosion and deposition.
