Thanksgiving Feast

Thank you to everyone for sending in snacks for our Thanksgiving Feast.
(Actually a Thanksgiving snack sharing.) We had a nice time!

Investigating weathering with rain

Inquiry activity, Model weathering
Purpose: Students will model the process of weathering by water.
What to expect: Students will use a pipette to drop single drops of water onto a sugar cube. Students will observe how the sugar cube changes shape as more drops are put on the cube. Students should start to see a change in the shape of the sugar cube after about 25 drops. They should see the sugar cube completely gone after about 175 drops.

Erosion and Weathering for Kids

I'll leave you with this joke:
* What did one raindrop say to the other?
– Two’s company. Three’s a cloud!

Erosion and weathering

Water, wind, and ice change the earth's surface everyday. We experimented with sand and wind.
We saw that over time, the wind changed our sand mountain.
