Erosion & Depostion

During our changes in the Earth's surface unit, the girls had the opportunity to see erosion & depostion in action.  Each group created wind using a straw, a glacier using ice cubes and applied water to see first hand the effects that they had on the soil.  Then they had to record their findings on their investigation sheet.  They were also challenged to create something that would prevent erosion in the future.  Some of them got quite creative and enjoyed seeing how their creation worked.

The following weekend, Sully went to the mountains and saw some great examples of weathering & erosion. Thanks Sully for sharing your findings with us!
