Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Activity
The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate your knowledge of weathering, erosion, and
deposition in a creative and fun way. Below I have given you a menu from which to choose
your activity. You will see the requirements for each activity listed on the menu. If you use
your time wisely, you will be able to complete this assignment in class. We will not have
computers available to us, so these activities will be completed by hand. The Science
textbook has plenty of information about weathering, erosion, and deposition, so you will not
need other resources or a bibliography! Check out Chapter 9: Lesson 1 and Chapter 10:
Lessons 1 and 2 in your Science book for information. Make sure that you address all three
concepts in your chosen activity.
