Get your students moving and grooving as they explore the dynamic processes that shape our planet with this Earth changes sorting activity!

What's Included?

• Instructions
• Title Cards: labeled "Weathering," "Erosion," and "Deposition."
• Statement Cards: Description cards that detail various Earth changes, each corresponding to one of the three processes (weathering, erosion, or deposition). These cards come in the correct order, acting as an answer key for teachers.
• Winners' Certificates: Fun and motivational certificates you can award to students or teams who successfully sort the statements correctly.

How to Play?

1. Preparation: Print out the instruction sheet, title cards, and statement cards. Cut out all the cards neatly.
2. Setting the Stage: On a bulletin board or wall, display the title cards ("Weathering," "Erosion," "Deposition") with enough space in between for students to sort the statement cards.
3. Sorting Challenge: Divide students into groups (optional) or have them work individually. Distribute the statement cards face down. Students will shuffle or draw cards and then carefully read each statement aloud, trying to determine which process (weathering, erosion, or deposition) it describes.
4. Checking and Celebrating: Once all the statements are sorted, use the answer key (statement cards in the correct order) to review the placements. Celebrate the students' understanding and teamwork (if applicable).
