Understanding Rain Erosion of Landforms
Subjects:
Grades:
Style:
Science, Social Science
3-5
Objective: Students will understand the effects of erosion on landforms.
Lesson: There are three aspects to this lesson plan: Building, effecting and
observing.
Materials:
• Foil pan
• Dirt
• Small rocks
• Water
• Eyedropper
• Spray bottle with mist setting
1. Building the landform (mountain).
To build a mountain have your students work together to collect dirt and small rocks. Poke
several holes in the bottom of the pan to allow water to escape. Pack the material tightly, in the
shape of a mountain and use a large foil pan for the base. Clear any dirt away from the holes.
Be sure that students pack some rocks into the side of the “mountain”.
Day 1. Observe the mountain. Draw the shape of it. If your classroom has access to a digital
camera, make a digital diary of the mountain beginning with the day it was created. If students
will be recording on paper their findings, use the worksheet provided.
Day 2. Add rain to the mountain. For this day, have your students use the eye dropper to
simulate heavy rain. Fill the eyedropper five times and allow the water to drop from about 6 to 8
inches over the mountain. Let the water fall in heavy drops. Observe and record what happens.
Note the amount of dirt on the bottom of the foil pan. Be sure any standing water drains from
the pan.
Day 3. Mist the mountain with the spray bottle. Throughly wet each side of the mountian.
Observe and record.
Repeat until the effects of water erosion can be seen. Ask your students to complete the
worksheet provided.

Lessons & Activities
Observing your Climate
Objective: Students will understand their own climate through a weather diary and
observations.
Materials:
• Weather diary (provided)
• Thermometers
• Rain gage
• Barometer
• Wind speed gage
Lesson:
Have your students fill out the worksheet that is provided with observations daily for one month.
Have them record and observe information at approximately the same time each day.
Information collected will included daily temperature readings, daily rain fall amounts and general
daily observations of the weather.
At the end of the month graph the data. Make a separate graph for temperature and rain/fall. What
were the averages?
Next ask your students to compare and contrast the average rainfall and temperatures of a city
that is at least 500 miles to the north or south of your location.
Use an Almanac to look up and record the information.
As a bonus activity: Encourage your students, to find a city using the almanac that is 500 miles
away from your location.
Discuss how the average temperatures and rainfall differs from you location. Does that make it a
different climate? Ask your students to make a theory about what the differences mean and how
the differences might happen.
World Almanac online.
If your students have access to the Internet, they can use the Infoplease site online at:
