Thank you for purchasing my product!

Dear Educator,

I hope this product enhances your science curriculum this year! This concept is such a difficult one for students to grasp! The interactive materials make it so much more meaningful to my kiddos! I teach it at the beginning of the year, so it’s imperative that we revisit the skill throughout the year to prepare for our state’s standardized science test for 5th graders. I use the Task Cards for a fun, great way to review all year long! Please leave feedback and let me know how the product worked for you! Email me anytime with questions or suggestions. Check out my classroom wiki for TONS of academic resources, like videos, interactive games, charts, and much more that I’ve collected in all content areas!

Teacher Instructions: Create an anchor chart using the Weathering, Erosion, & Deposition cards on the following pages.

Add student examples of each on the anchor chart.

Weathering A slow, destructive force that wears down and breaks rock

into smaller pieces called sediments


Erosion The destructive movement of materials from one place to another by wind, water, ice,

and gravity


Deposition The constructive placement

of sediments and other materials in a new place


Use these to glue in students’ interactive notebooks.

Deposition The constructive

placement of sediments and other materials in a

new place

Erosion The destructive movement

of materials from one place to another by wind,

water, ice, and gravity

Weathering A slow, destructive force

that wears down and breaks rock into smaller pieces called sediments


Glue in interactive notebooks. Under the flaps, write landforms that are formed by weathering, erosion, or deposition

Teacher Instructions: Create an anchor chart using the Constructive & Destructive Forces cards on the following pages.

Add example cards and discuss. Have students glue the Constructive & Destructive Flapbooks in their interactive notebooks, and add to them during the discussion.

Constructive

Forces Forces that build up an existing landform or create a new one

through deposition


Destructive

Forces Forces that destroy

landforms through erosion and weathering


Examples of Constructive Forces – add to anchor chart and discuss

gravity

wind


volcanoes

water


ice

earthquakes


Constructive forces happen

slowly by

deposition.


Examples of Destructive Forces – add to anchor chart and discuss

gravity

wind


volcanoes

water


ice

earthquakes


Destructive forces can happen slowly

(weathering) or quickly

(erosion).


Destructive Forces

Cut on the solid lines. Fold on the dotted lines. On the front of each

flap, write an example of a destructive force. On the inside of the flap, explain how the force

destroys landforms using the words weather and erode. Glue the blank

side down in your interactive notebook.


Constructive

Forces

Cut on the solid lines. Fold on the dotted lines. On the front of each

flap, write an example of a constructive force. On

the inside of the flap, explain how the force

creates landforms using the word deposit or deposition Glue the

blank side down in your interactive notebook.


\

Scientists’ Response Booklet Cut out the booklet. Fold on the dotted line. Read the question on the front and respond inside the booklet.

Include an illustration of ONE of the forces both destructing & constructing a landform.

Ask the Scientist

Why is every destructive force also a constructive force? What does this tell you about Mother Nature?


Landform Flip-Flaps Cut out the flip-flap, including the individual flaps. Fold the “flip” under the “flap” on the dotted line. Under

each flap, students will: 1). Write a definition “in my own words;” 2). Describe how it is formed; 3). Write real-world examples of the landform. Glue into notebook on the long edge.

Weathering, Erosion, & Deposition


Directions: 1. Shuffle the playing cards. 2. Turn one card over at a time and

read it. Decide if the event is weathering, erosion, or deposition.

3. Place the card on the correct side of the game mat.

4. Write the card number on the correct side of your answer sheet.


Weathering Erosion Deposition


1 A glacier moves

through a mountain range, moving large pieces of

rock and carving out part of the

mountain.

2

A landslide quickly moves loose dirt and plants down a

mountainside or hillside.

3

A sandstorm creates sand dunes on the

beach.

4

Cooling lava from erupting

volcanoes creates more land on the islands of Hawaii.

5

A glacier melts and drops off sediments as it moves along its

path.

6

A glacier breaks rocks off the side

of a mountain.


7

A flood breaks off large rocks from the banks of a

river.

8

Heavy rains move rocks and

sediments from a hillside.

9

Erupting volcanoes in the

ocean create new islands when the

lava cools.

10

A slow-moving river drops off sediments at the

mouth of the river, creating a delta.

11

An earthquake breaks a large

piece of rock off an embankment.

12

Wind moves sand and sediments in a severe dust storm.


13

A slow-moving river drops off sediments at the

mouth of the river, creating a delta.

14

Crashing waves break off rocks

on a cliff at Cape Cod.

15

Young rivers at the top of

mountains carry rocks downstream.

16

When Mt. St. Helens erupted, the peak of the mountain broke

off.

17

An earthquake in Haiti causes parts

of the coast to move out to sea.

18 Slow-moving

rivers drop off sediments,

creating salt marshes and

swamps.


19

As a rivers slows down, it drops off

rocks and sediments along the riverbank.

20

Water freezes in the cracks of a

boulder, breaking the crack open even further.

21

Waves drop sand, creating sandbars in the middle of

the ocean.

22

A mudslide moves rocks, plants, and sediments from

the top of a mountain.

23

Gravity on a steep hillside pulls a large rock off

the side of a cliff.

24

A plant’s roots grow into a

sidewalk, causing the sidewalk to

crack and break open.
