Students will
determine how to
sort shells and
discuss how they
are alike and
different.
Students will also
observe the
properties of the
shells. Students
will record images
and observations
and questions in
their science
journals.

Students will
manipulate water
over sand in a
clear, sealed
container to
demonstrate
erosion. Students
will make
observations and
questions and
record them in
their science
journals.
Students will
observe several
different types of
soil in sealed jars.
They will record
their observations
and questions in
their science
journals.
