Thinking about erosion...
Last week's Fun Friday we went outdoors to begin experimenting with water. We talked about erosion around the city. We considered how water shapes landforms. Students began the week by thinking about earth's 4 spheres. We wondered how the hydrosphere affects the geosphere, so we explored weathering and erosion. |
| We conducted our fieldwork in the school sandpit. |
 |
| We created different land forms for testing including river beds, a beach, mountains/hills. For the beach landform we simulated wave action. |
 |
 |
| Some of us created a river bed. |
 |
| We used our drink bottles to simulate rainfall and tested out what can happen to landforms when too much rain falls. |
 |
| Some of us added plants and rocks to find out if this slowed down erosion. |
 |
| We drew scientific diagrams before and after testing and then created our own definitions of erosion. |
