  1. Weathering and Erosion Unit 8 Weathering and Erosion Ft. Clarke Middle School 6th Grade Science

  2. Essential Questions: • What evidence can students observe that the Earth is changing? • What processes change rocks from one type to another? • What is meant by weathering? • How many different kinds of weathering processes are there?

  3. Essential Questions: • How are weathering and erosion different? • How are weathering and erosion related? • How does the formation of soil relate to the processes of weathering and erosion?

  4. Sunshine State Standards • SC.6.E.6.1 Describe and give examples of ways in which Earth's surface is built up and torn down by physical and chemical weathering, erosion, and deposition. • SC.6.E.6.2 Recognize that there are a variety of different landforms on Earth's surface such as coastlines, dunes, rivers, mountains, glaciers, deltas, and lakes and relate these landforms as they apply to Florida.

  5. Sunshine State Standards •  SC.7.E.6.2 Identify the patterns within the rock cycle and relate them to surface events (weathering and erosion) and sub-surface events (plate tectonics and mountain building).

  6. Vocabulary • contour plowing minimum tillage soil profile • crop rotation mountain soils tropical soils • deposition parent rock weathering • desert soils permeability • erosion porosity • forest soils prairie soils • humus soil • Leaching soil conservation
