Clarifying Science Through Natural Events
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

Students conduct research about a type of natural event, learn why it occurs, where the probable locations of occurrence are, what causes damage, what conditions create especially destructive events, and what the probability of a destructive event is. It is important that students spend some time thinking about possible ways to reduce the negative impact of damaging natural events to reduce fear and increase empowerment.

Students use a stream table set at various inclinations to investigate how flowing water changes landforms. Then they will choose three Martian landforms that seem to have been shaped or created by flowing surface water and discuss how they might have formed. Finally, students examine images of Mars to see if there are any features suggesting the presence of flowing water at one time or another.
