Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners will model the mechanical weathering and erosion of rocks in a stream or river.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

Based on color photographic images, learners compare geological features on Earth and Mars to understand similarities and differences between the two planets, and consider the forces that created land

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.

In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners will learn how igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock are formed as part of the rock cycle and that the same forces that produce/change rocks also produce/chan
