Last week and today in class we briefly discussed maps. During this discussion we will read from our Landforms book that will be accompanying us during our investigations and experiments next week. We learned that maps can have many different uses, and that there are many different forms. Two very important types are political maps, and physical maps. Political maps give information such as streets, cities, populations, city/state lines etc. Physical maps show us "physical" features of the Earth such as landforms, bodies of water etc. Click on the linked words to see examples of each. We learned that cartographers, are also known as map-makers, and that we would be "becoming" cartographers this week by making a map of the back of our school.
Also, this week we will begin our discussion of Weathering, Erosion and Deposition. Today in the computer lab the students watched a video called Erosion on Brainpop.
Below please comment on something new your learned from the video on erosion today and tell me something that you included in your map of the school.

I LEARN IN SCIENCE TODAY WAS THAT EROSION CAN BE CAUSE BY WATER,SAND,AN WAVES I GOT THIS FROM THE WEB VIDEO 8#
ReplyDeleteOne thing I put on my map was the baseball diamond. And something I learned after watching the video is that erosion. Erosion can cause land forms to turn into canyons!!!!!!

i included the portables.I learned that once pebbles get wet enough they turn into sand#26
ReplyDeleteI learned that pebbels slowly go away and in class that maps take a long time to make #27
ReplyDeletein the movie i learned that weathering moves materials such as dirt and rocks and the map is going to be big on a little piece of paper that will take time and hard work.#6
ReplyDeletei learned how to make a map i learned that when you make a map you need a key to give you information and a compass for directions and i learned how to make a chart love #2
ReplyDeleteI included the benches near the play ground. i never knew that plant's roots hold things together#17
ReplyDeleteI learned about erosion and that it is a movement.20#
ReplyDeleteI learn that erosion move through dirt and rocks.#18
ReplyDeleteI learned on the video that erosion can make canyons,and in class i drew a sidewalk.
ReplyDeletetoday i learn about earth system and erosion i learn in class room how the earth and erosion help us and today brainpop help us i really thanks to my teacher and the video .3 is my number
ReplyDeleteas glaciers move they slowly but stedly pick up loose matrial from the ground:D#22
ReplyDeletethe thing i learned in class is a map has to include a key and i do have a key. the thing that learned is it takes long time to do erotion #13
ReplyDeletei learned that in the video that if you get a crack in it the water turns into sand love#2
ReplyDelete.
I will include the parking lot and cars. Today I learned that if water gets pebbles they will turn in to sand.
ReplyDeleteI learned that... weathering moves very slow. The map we are doing has 20 things that you have to put on notebook paper.#12:)
ReplyDelete#1 i learned that one type of a erosion is a sandblast.
ReplyDeletefor my school map I included my map key my title#22
ReplyDeletei saw in the video that erosion picks up dirt&water cuse heavy wind makes the dirt picks up thats what ive have learned.Plus sometimes the mountan crack a little bit and water flowed thew.#16
ReplyDeletei learned that over millions of years water can make huge canyons and even change its shape :D #21 i put the baseball diamond in my map. :D #21

ReplyDeleteI learned that erosion can not damage soil.
ReplyDeletewhat i learned was that erosions are made when water from rivers,oceans, and creeks pick up soil and rocks and things and swishes on shore.
ReplyDeletetoday i learned that when pebbles are broken up into small pieces it creates sand and after about 1 million years canyons can be created because the rocks ware down the rocky sides and hopefully the map making will easy.
ReplyDeletei learned about how erosine can move i dirt and rock
ReplyDeletewhat i learned in the video is that erosion is any thing that running water , wind, ocean waves and rocks big rocks break into smaller and smaller pieces what i put on my map is the playground #5
ReplyDelete#11 I learned that erosion carries thing under water
