Changing Earth: Today and Over Time

2nd Grade - Earth Science - NGSS

Students explore and develop models of different landforms and bodies of water and investigate the causes of how the land and water can change rapidly or over a long period of time.

Anchor Phenomena: The school yard has evidence of changes in the land from rain, water, wind and human activity.

Driving Question: How does the shape of the land change and how are different shapes in the land and bodies of water formed?

Engineering Design Challenge: Develop and use models of landforms to explain how land can change rapidly or gradually over a long period of time.
