Earth Is Always Changing

Sort changes as constructive (build land up) or destructive (wear it away).

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 1

Welcome to Earth Shapers! Earth's surface looks still, but it's always changing.
Constructive processes build land up. Lava makes new rock, and rivers drop sand to build new land.
Destructive processes wear land away. Rivers and waves slowly cut through rock.

Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:

S5E1.a — Construct an argument supported by scientific evidence to identify surface features (examples could include deltas, sand dunes, mountains, volcanoes) as being caused by constructive and/or destructive processes (examples could include deposition, weathering, erosion, and impact of organisms).
