Weathering is the natural force that wears down objects by the elements (temperature, wind, water, gravity) in the environment.
In this unit students will explore the differences between weathering and erosion before making an in-depth study of erosion. Erosion in the local environment is investigated. Students create models of water erosion with the teachers’ guidance. Through a guided inquiry activity, students design and create a wind erosion model. The culminating activity is the proposal of a remedial land care program to combat erosion of farming soils.
