Weathering and Erosion of SKITTLES!

For this activity, the 5th grade class was asked to observe and illustrate what happens to skittles when water is dropped on them.

After the activity, the girls were asked to compare what they observed about the skittle to the weathering and erosion of rocks.

River Watch

Many of us will start learning about water and why it is important.

On Explore.Org we can watch what happens in a river. To see the live stream, click on the link below.

Some questions we can think about are:
1) What types of organisms live here?
2) Who else uses this water source?
3) Why are rivers important?

If you are interested, there are also live videos of other living things in different parts of the world.

Enjoy!
