Erosion

Here are some quotes from the children after todays very exciting Four Winds workshop on erosion and weathering. The children took part in 4 experiments highlighting the powerful agents of erosion that constantly alter our landscape.
Beckett - Erosion moves stuff around. Where one thing is it can move it to a different place.
Sam - Water causes the rocks to move.
Camille - Water goes over sand and the sand moves.
Eric - A form of erosion is when rocks and riverbanks get washed away by the stream.
Zach - Wind can cause erosion.
Adele - We covered dirt with leaves and stuff from nature so the water wouldn't move the dirt.
Trevor - Rocks are moved down mountains and hills by gravity. Then they crumble up and turn into little rocks.
Lily - We shook rocks in a jar with water and little bits of rock came off and when we were done it looked foggy.
