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

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.

Fundations fun!

We had fun completing this "WRITE THE ROOM" activity! We were suffix detectives trying to find words in our classroom to complete each category on our paper. It was harder than it looked! We realized that the word "December" was not an answer for the suffix "er" so that took away all our months! It was a fun activity and helped us to tune into the different suffixes and their proper uses!
Take a peek :)
