Weathering, Erosion, and the Reshaping of the Surface: Science Unit 5, Grade 6 (Letters & Devotion)

Description

Weathering, Erosion, and the Reshaping of the Surface is Unit 5 of Earth and Space Systems: Patterns, Processes, and Change (Grade 6), the Letters & Devotion Science course, complete in one printable PDF: 10 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 66 pages.

• The distinction between weathering and erosion
• Surface-change scenarios sorted by process type
• Gravity as the common driver of mass wasting, runoff, and river transport
• Physical vs. chemical weathering mechanisms
• The effect of hardness, climate, slope, and vegetation on erosion rate
• The student’s own stream-table erosion data and deposition prediction
• Deposition as the link between erosion and new sedimentary rock formation
• The weathering-erosion-deposition sequence applied to an unfamiliar landform
• The claim that erosion is uniformly destructive
• Definitions of weathering, erosion, and deposition

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
