Weathering, Erosion, Deposition - Hands-on STATIONS
I use this after students have learned the basics about weathering, erosion, and deposition. My on-level or special needs students use their notes about WED to help them with the follow-up questions to the activity at each station.
Students travel in groups around the room to complete each activity. Warning: as with most hands-on activities, it can get a little messy, but it's well worth it as students remember this activity and you can reference it as you go forward through the geology conte

This activity was designed to help students engage in this law of science with something we all seem to love...playdoh! I usually walk through the steps, showing students how to put the layers together, then they construct their own with a partner. The best part is the quick check I can do as I walk through the room or they hand me their completed papers. It shows who understands the con

Mineral Study Journal
This is a journal for students to record their observations when studying the properties of 12 different minerals. The students will test the mineral's color, texture, luster, hardness, magnetism, acidic, and other mineral properties. There is also a place at the bottom of each journal page for students to write their observations in paragraph form. This Mineral Journal correlates with South Carolina's mineral standards and could easily be adapted for other state's standards.
