Wind, Water, Waves, and Ice...oh my!

Today we spent time in the lab! We were able to see the effects that wind, water, waves, and ice have on our Earth. These four important things are the reasons we have landforms and changes on our Earth! We blew "wind" through straws, sprayed "rain" on a hill, moved "glaciers", and even went to the beach and created waves! Here are some pictures from our experiments.




PS Check out our snazzy lab coats and goggles! We mean business in science class!


Just another day at the "beach"!

    I have been searching for ideas for Earth Science hands on activities, and these look great! Do you have any suggestions for how to run the activity or any materials that go with it? I know you posed this a long time ago, but perhaps you still do it in your classroom!?

    What did you do to move glaciers? I love the hands on and that it can be done in stations. I would like to see the before picture and after the students would draw and then have them talk about what happened. Maybe add trees to the rain one after the first experiment with out them and just a hillside or mountain.

    I have done similar experiments and the glaciers, I make ice in cups and then "move" them with my hands. We do this to show how valleys are formed. The kids love the sand and straws!

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
