What educators are saying

My students enjoyed this resource that went along with their science lesson on the dustbowl and the implementation of proper farming practices.

They can read and write about the causes and effects of wind erosion and weathering that caused the dust bowl in the 1930's. This no-prep product is perfect for teaching students about history and science in an engaging and hands-on lab activity! Contains over 9 pages of science, reading, and writing activities plus teaching suggestions.

Includes:

hands-on wind erosion lab with reflection questions
reading passage about the dust bowl
pre-reading activity to assess/build background knowledge
3 close reading activities
writing prompt and frame
erosion poster template

*Simple materials required for the lab: goggles, shoebox, sand and straw.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSSRST.6-8.1

Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts.

CCSSWHST.6-8.1

Write arguments focused on discipline-specific content.

CCSSWHST.6-8.2

Write informative/explanatory texts, including the narration of historical events, scientific procedures/experiments, or technical processes.

NGSSMS-ESS3-2

Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects. Emphasis is on how some natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions and severe weather, are preceded by phenomena that allow for reliable predictions, but others, such as earthquakes, occur suddenly and with no notice, and thus are not yet predictable. Examples of natural hazards can be taken from interior processes (such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), surface processes (such as mass wasting and tsunamis), or severe weather events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods). Examples of data can include the locations, magnitudes, and frequencies of the natural hazards. Examples of technologies can be global (such as satellite systems to monitor hurricanes or forest fires) or local (such as building basements in tornado-prone regions or reservoirs to mitigate droughts).

NGSSMS-ESS3-3

Apply scientific principles to design a method for monitoring and minimizing a human impact on the environment. Examples of the design process include examining human environmental impacts, assessing the kinds of solutions that are feasible, and designing and evaluating solutions that could reduce that impact. Examples of human impacts can include water usage (such as the withdrawal of water from streams and aquifers or the construction of dams and levees), land usage (such as urban development, agriculture, or the removal of wetlands), and pollution (such as of the air, water, or land).
