Science Fun

Who knew erosion could be so much fun?  We have been discussing weathering and erosion during second grade Science class.  We have been learning that wind and water are two movements that cause erosion.  Students took turns blowing through straws to see how air movement moved sand and also use small water bottles to represent erosion with water.  They then came up with the idea to do wind and water erosion at the same time to see the end result.  Hands-on activities are valuable components of our Science curriculum.  Of course, the students think the messier the activity the better!
