Description
Every place has a story. In this lab, students explore the slow processes that create geological change: weathering, erosion and deposition. 3rd and 4th grade students investigate how these processes lead to the formation of soils and use this information to explain why soils have different properties. 5th grade students identify how these processes lead to the formation of landforms and use this information to explain why certain places look the way they do and predict how areas could change in the future.

Students Will
  • Explore erosion, weathering and deposition
  • Explore maps to identify the features of the Earth's surface
  • Predict how slow changes will change the surface of the Earth
  • Identify how landforms and soils are created as a result of slow changes to the earth
