Erosion and Weathering
Learning Objectives:
Standards:
Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Middle School Standard E: 12.E.3b Describe interactions between solid earth, oceans, atmosphere and organisms that have resulted in ongoing changes of Earth (e.g., erosion, El Nino).
National Science Education Standards Content Standard D: Land forms are the result of a combination of constructive and destructive forces. Constructive forces include crustal deformation, volcanic eruption, and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion.
Lesson Description:
- Students will be able to explain how weathering and erosion shape the surface of the earth
- Students will be able to identify landforms created by erosion and weathering
- Students will be able to explain the difference between constructive and destructive forces
