We had Four Winds this morning and learned all about erosion! We started with a puppet show and learned some of the different ways that boulders and rocks erode. Then we moved into three different stations to explore some of the ways things erode.
At one station, we used different amounts of air/wind to see the amount of erosion they could cause.
At another station, we saw how fast moving water could erode rocks.
At the last station, we saw the impact of different amounts of rain.
After we went outside and tested our new knowledge to try and prevent erosion on a mountain of soil.
The one all the way on the left was the control bucket.
Thank you to Aricha, Erika and Keelin for coming in to help this month!
