Erosion Assignment

Due THURSDAY:

Find a place where erosion has taken place at your home. Either take a picture and e-mail it to Mrs. Valter (svalter@lindberghschool.ws) or draw a picture of the erosion. Then write about it in your science notebook. Think about: Where is the erosion and why does it matter? How did the erosion happen? What caused the erosion? What clues told you erosion had taken place?

This assignment is worth 20 points.
