Description
Overview
The Earth Science Investigation Kit gives students an immersive experience in geomorphology, how Earth’s surface is shaped by water, sediment, and weathering. Using a miniature stream table, measurement tools, and a variety of natural materials, learners simulate real-world landform changes, observe erosion patterns, and explore how environmental factors impact landscapes. This kit supports NGSS Earth & Space Science standards and is ideal for upper elementary and middle school classrooms.
What Students Learn
-
How moving water erodes, transports, and deposits sediment
-
How landforms such as deltas, meanders, and canyons develop
-
The effects of slope, soil type, flow rate, and rainfall on erosion
-
How to measure angles, track changes, and record scientific data
-
Environmental science concepts aligned with NGSS ESS2 standards
Classroom-Ready Structure
All materials are packaged for easy classroom use, including stream tables, sediments, filtration tools, and measurement equipment. Students work like real Earth scientists, designing experiments, collecting data, and modeling natural processes.
