EARTHMOVERS in Nature

Explore the fascinating world of erosion through the lens of wind and water. Discover how natural events like rainstorms, hurricanes, and glaciers shape our environment over time. Learn about the effects of erosion with hands-on experiments and engaging discussions, such as the forces behind the formation of Natural Bridge, Virginia. Reflect on the transformations of the Old Stone Mountain and the impact of erosion on our ecosystems. Join our journey as we uncover the processes that change our landscape and understand our role in this enduring cycle.

  1. EARTHMOVERS in Nature What are the two types of erosion?

  2. Wind and Water!Can you guess some ways this might happen? • Rainstorms • Hurricanes • Tornadoes • Floods • Drought • Freezing and thawing • Glaciers

  3. We were EARTHMOVERS!

  4. Tell what you remember about our experiments at the science table.

  5. Runoff!

  6. What type of erosion occurred here? Could it have happened quickly or slowly?

  7. Can you explain what may have happened here?

  8. Natural Bridge, Virginia • What type of erosion formed this natural wonder? • Did the erosion happen quickly or over a long period of time?

  9. Is this an example of wind or water erosion?

  10. The Old Stone Mountainwords by Phyllis Gaskinssung to the tune of “The Old Grey Mare” • 1. The old stone mountain • Ain’t what she used to be, • Ain’t what she used to be, • Ain’t what she used to be, • The old stone mountain • Ain’t what she used to be, • Many long years ago. • Many long years ago. • Many long years ago. • The old stone mountain • Ain’t what she used to be, • Many long years ago.

(3x) The old stone mountain Use to have trees and soil, Many long years ago. 3. Along came a glacier And carried big chunks away, (3x) Along came a glacier And carried big chunks away, Many long years ago.(3x) Along came a glacier And carried big chunks away, Many long years ago.

  12. 4. Down came the rain • And washed good soil away,(3x) • Down came the rain • And washed good soil away, • Many long years ago.(3x) • Down came the rain • And washed good soil away, • Many long years ago. • To end: Repeat verse #1
