Description

This is an activity on weathering and erosion. It includes a lab, reading passages, and follow-up pages. Students will love the engaging lab on weathering! Students will see how the earth's processes like weathering and erosion have changed the surface of the Earth over time.

This resource includes:

  • informational text passages on weathering and erosion
  • a lab
  • lab pages
  • Follow-up pages
  • answer keys

This resource is designed to meet the standard for NGSS Earths Systems:

MS-ESS2-2. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales

For the lab, you will need sand, water, salt rock, and containers.

And the Utah SEEd

Standard 7.2.2 Construct an explanation based on evidence for how processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales.

These science reading passages including are rich in content and students will practice their reading informational text skills while learning more about weathering and erosion.

The following science concepts are addressed:

weathering and erosion

chemical weathering

mechanical weathering

oxidation

hydrolysis

organic weathering

hydration

carbonization

glaciation

observation

recording data

comparing and contrasting

measuring

research

making an Argument from Evidence

Nonfiction Reading Skills Addressed are:

NGSSMS-ESS2-2
Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events. Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.
