Grade 5: Week of February 13th to 17th

We were a little bit delayed because of the practice EOG testing, so students will present their landform projects on Monday. We will begin our rivers unit about river landforms on Tuesday. We will learn about how rivers change the land, and how rivers affect the landscape by weathering, erosion, and deposition. On Thursday we will examine how the volume of water and steepness of slope affect a river's ability to erode away sediment with a fascinating and messy experiment! Students can expect to receive a River's review sheet Friday.

Homework:

Tuesday: Worksheet on rivers

Wednesday: Worksheet on rivers; (study guide on rivers landforms if time)

Thursday: Finish the erosion experiment
