This is a science lesson that engages students to think about how weathering and erosion shape the shorelines. With the questions found in this lesson, students are able to think deeper and apply their critical thinking skills. Also, on the lesson are the link to the national science standards. The vocabulary that I have included are words such as coast, habitat, sediment, etc. All materials used in this lesson are easy to purchase or borrow. I have taught this lesson several times to my fifth and sixth graders with much success. I hope you enjoy this lesson as much as I do-Laura Ruscetta
