Week 4 - Wind and Water

This week we took what we learned about erosion and weathering and tried to figure out how to stop it or at least slow it down.  The students made erosion blockers on a soil bed and watched the water wash it away.  We had a blast doing this project.  Then they made small posters about how to help farmers slow down the wind on their farms.  What a bunch of great ideas!!  I'm adding a link with a neat weathering and erosion video.  Enjoy!!
