Station 1
How does Moving Air Affect Sediments?
Make a Prediction for the following statement:
Does the size of the particle affect the distance
a particle moves through the air?
Gently use a straw to blow the particles.
1. Record what you observe.
2. Which particles moved the farthest?
Why? Which particles moved the least?
Why?
3. How does wind affect our earth?
4. What landforms are created as a result of
wind deposition?
Station 2
How do Glaciers Change the Land?
Obtain a “glacier” from your teacher. Take a
bar of soap and rub the ice, sand side down,
over a bar of soap.
1. Predict what will happen to the soap.
2. Observe what happens to the surface of
the soap.
3. Based on your observations how could ice
change the surface of the land?
4. What landforms are created as a result of
glacial deposition?
Station 3
How are Sediments Deposited?
1. Shake the jar for 30 seconds. Then let it
set for 2 minutes.
2. Predict the order you think the sediments
will be deposited into the jar? Explain
why you chose this order.
3. After the sediments have settled what
was the order of the contents in the jar?
4. Was your prediction correct? Why or why
not.
Station 4
How Do Waves Shape Land?
1. Use the Popsicle stick to create waves in
the pan.
2. Describe what happened to the beach.
3. How did the waves affect the sand and
gravel?
4. How do waves cause erosion and
deposition on the shoreline?
5. What landforms are created as a result of
wave deposition?
Station 5
1. What agent of erosion and deposition
created the landforms in Pan A and Pan B.
2. What type of landform is modeled in Pan
A, describe how it formed?
3. What type of landform is modeled in Pan
B, describe how it formed?
4. How is a delta different from an alluvial
fan?
Station 6
1. The movement of material downhill under
the influence of gravity.________
____________
2. What factors affect the rate of mass
movement?
3. Match the pictures with the types of mass
movements. (Mudflow, Creep, Avalanche,
Landslide (slump), and Rock Fall
4. Describe three things that can be done to
reduce the effects of erosion on steep
slopes.
