Description

Slow Changes to Earth's Surface Science Weekly Five™ Stations help students learn about weathering, erosion, and deposition by wind, water, and ice.

Updated for 2022. Stations are improved, an answer key was added, and everything you need is included in one easy PDF. Look out for more updated units!

5 Quick and Simple Centers

1. Read: How Does Earth's Surface Slowly Change?

2. Explore: Mini-lab on sand dune formation

NGSS4-ESS2-1
Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation. Examples of variables to test could include angle of slope in the downhill movement of water, amount of vegetation, speed of wind, relative rate of deposition, cycles of freezing and thawing of water, cycles of heating and cooling, and volume of water flow. Assessment is limited to a single form of weathering or erosion.
