10.15.13 Weathering Word Wall We will learn vocabulary on the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition by creating a word wall word. S Which of the examples would require the least amount of force to move the box from point A to point B? Explain you answer. Example C because the distance traveled is greater and the angle of the ramp is lower.

P- What is a catastrophic event? What is a ecoregion? What is a watershed? 7.8  Earth and space. The student knows that natural events and human activity can impact Earth systems. The student is expected to: (A)  predict and describe how different types of catastrophic events impact ecosystems such as floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes; (B)  analyze the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition on the environment in ecoregions of Texas; and (C)  model the effects of human activity on groundwater and surface water in a watershed.

A- Copy the Vocabulary from Vocab-u-los on EDU “slow changes in an ecosystem” Abrasion Erosion Mechanical weathering Creep Deflation Delta Deposition Chemical weathering Saltation Sediment ecoregion

C- What is the difference between physical weathering and chemical weathering Create a word wall word: Front: Picture and word Back: definition, a sentence using two of the vocabulary words, your name and class period

E- Draw each picture and explain which vocabulary words they represent. BREAKING dumping

10.16.13 Weathering Edu Before S Use the before and after pictures to describe how the hurricane impacted this costal community. After New House

P- How are ecosystems affected? What forces shape the ecoregions of Texas? What types of waters are affected by humans in watersheds? 7.8  Earth and space. The student knows that natural events and human activity can impact Earth systems. The student is expected to: (A)  predict and describe how different types of catastrophic events impact ecosystems such as floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes; (B)  analyze the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition on the environment in ecoregions of Texas; and (C)  model the effects of human activity on groundwater and surface water in a watershed.

A- Take your own notes A- Interactivity from edusmart C- Quiz E- Describe how ecoregions can be affected by weathering, erosion and deposition. Give specific examples! Weathering Erosion Deposition Mechanical Chemical

10.17.13 Weathering Foldable We will analyze the affects of weathering erosion and deposition on Texas ecoregions by completing edusmart. S Use your science words to explain how the grand canyon was made.

P- 1. Explain how 3 factors mold and shape ecoregions 7.8  Earth and space. The student knows that natural events and human activity can impact Earth systems. The student is expected to: (A)  predict and describe how different types of catastrophic events impact ecosystems such as floods, hurricanes, or tornadoes; (B)  analyze the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition on the environment in ecoregions of Texas; and (C)  model the effects of human activity on groundwater and surface water in a watershed. Review our HOMEWORK

A Texas can be divided into __________ which are areas of the same soil, climate and have the same plant life

C Weathering Forces that Shape Earth Erosion Deposition Definition: On the inside put all vocabulary and important information for each. * get the information from your reading* Use staar coach pg 142-144

E Heat generally speeds up chemical reactions; But weathering, including chemical weathering, is usually slowest in the desert climates. Explain why this is true.

10.18.13 W.E.D. Lab We will conduct a Weathering, erosion and deposition lab to further our understanding of formations in ecoregions. TEK 7.8 S Explain which person is doing more work. Be sure to justify your answer using your science vocabulary (7.7A)

Define the following: Weathering Erosion Deposition P
