The lesson plan, presented by teacher candidate Elizabeth Clemmer for a 4th-grade class on March 13, 2026, centers on the topic "Earth’s Changing Surface: Weathering, Erosion,
This hands-on laboratory activity explores the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition as key factors in shaping Earth's surface. Students will engage in three stations with distinct experiments that simulate these geological processes. In Station 1, 'The Sugar Cube Shake,' students observe how shaking sugar cubes represents weathering. Station 2, 'The Rainfall Race,' utilizes a spray bottle to imitate rainfall, demonstrating erosion by observing the movement of sediment. Finally, in Station 3, 'The Delta Build,' students blow air through a straw to visualize how sand (sediment) accumulates, modeling deposition. The lab emphasizes critical thinking by linking observations to vocabulary definitions and real-world landscape changes, fostering a deeper understanding of Earth's dynamic surface.
