Activity 4.2 - Mining Sand part of Humans Dependence on Earths Mineral Resources
Students will analyze data and answer questions regarding the weathering, erosion, and deposition responsible for concentrating shoreline titanium placer deposits in Florida.

Unit 2: Fluvial Processes that Shape the Natural Landscape part of Interactions between Water, Earth’s Surface, and Human Activity
In this unit, students examine the interaction between the hydrologic cycle and rock cycle through exploring the processes of weathering, erosion, transport and deposition of sediments both in real stream systems ...

Activity 4.1 - Review of Sedimentary Processes part of Humans Dependence on Earths Mineral Resources
Even though students will read about sedimentary processes and the mineral resources thus formed, they will need some practice in order to truly grasp the concepts.

Unit 3.1 - Geology and Geomorphology part of Critical Zone Science
The basic concepts of geology will be considered to address the widely ranging textures and compositions of rocks and sediments formed in a wide range of environments. These variations in turn can affect soil ...

Weathering Experiment part of Introductory Courses:Activities
This project has students dirty several dishes equally and design experiments to determine which analogs of geologic processes are most efficient for removing the baked-on food. Students calculate rates of ...

Unit 4: How Sedimentary Processes Create Mineral Resources part of Student Materials
Learning outcomes: Summarize the processes that act to make sedimentary rocks. Explain how sedimentary processes (especially chemical weathering, erosion and deposition, and crystallization) redistribute and ...

Unit 3.2 - Landforms and Remote Sensing part of Critical Zone Science
In this unit, geomorphic environments and the processes that can move and shape them are explored to learn about the links between landforms, soils, and the Critical Zone. The fundamentals of geomorphology are ...

Rolling Rocks (Not the Beer!) - How Nature Shapes Stone part of Teach the Earth:Teaching Activities
The transformation of massive rock to sediment (i.e., gravel) is a process of nature not confined to Earth. A qualitative introduction to the forces of weathering and erosion that control the development of ...

Unit 4: Mineral Resources Created by Sedimentary Processes part of Humans Dependence on Earths Mineral Resources
In this unit, students will learn about sedimentary processes and the rocks they form. Activities are specifically designed to address topics such as clastic sedimentary processes, chemical weathering, and how such ...

Exploiting Weathering and Erosion for Authentic Argument and Problem-Based Learning Activities part of NAGT:Our Resources:In the Trenches:2017 - Volume 7:In the Trenches - Oct 2017
CHRISTOPHER ROEMMELE (croemmele@wcupa.edu),West Chester University and STEVEN SMITH (mrsmith@purdue.edu), Purdue University The creation of more authentic assessments has the potential to expand and change ...
