Grade 5 Science February

Grade 5s are studying rivers and their landforms and how rivers erode the land around them, changing the landscape constantly. The classroom got very dirty when we poured sediment and water down mountain and plains landscapes to test erosion principles. We discovered most sediment landed in the delta region and most erosion occurred on the steepest slope. Grade 5s will have a river landform test Tuesday Feb. 16th.

The next mini-unit will focus on weathering and erosion, current weathering and erosion problems, and ways to prevent it.
