Description
This resource will help students visualize and remember the details of the main types and agents of erosion, and make erosion one of the best topics of the year. These hands-on stations can be done as a rotation or jigsaw activity, or individual mini-labs to allow students to experience and more fully understand the processes of erosion by wind, water, gravity, and glaciers. Includes a step-by-step implementation guide, answer key, and 4 mini-lab stations.
I have used these activities as an introduction to the unit, as main labs, after notes, or even as a lead in to develop more in-depth experiments.
