In this lesson students will describe how weathering and erosion change Earth's surface after observing the effects of erosion from wind and water on three types of ground: bare ground, ground with sparse vegetation, and ground covered with vegetation. Students will record their observations in their science journals and then participate in a discussion about the results of the activity. They will be assessed by a final written summary of the activity where they will cite the reasons they think understanding soil erosion is important. Note: Teachers will need to build the Erosion Chamber mentioned in the lesson ahead of time; directions for building are included.

In this activity, students build and experiment with electric circuits using easily available materials. Students are challenged to find three pathways that successfully complete the circuit, and three pathways that do not successfully complete the circuit. Students will sketch the pathways in their journals, and compare and contrast their drawings with peers.
