Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: rocks, soil and sand are made of smaller pieces; water can be a solid, liquid or gas (2-PS1); wind and water can change the shape of the land (2-ESS2-1); measuring length and time.
Warm-up idea: Show two photos of the same hillside or beach taken years apart and ask what moved the land, and where it went.
Exit ticket idea: Students pick one variable, such as the steepness of a slope of sand, predict how it changes erosion by pouring water, and explain their measurements as cause and effect.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
