Weathering and erosion worksheets introduce Grade 2 students (ages 7-8) to the slow processes that break down and move Earth's rocks and soil. Children learn how wind, water, ice, and living things wear rocks apart and carry the pieces to new places, shaping the landscape over time. These pages build understanding of Earth's constantly changing surface. Part of our earth and water worksheets collection.
What You'll Learn
- Explain the difference between weathering and erosion
- Identify agents of weathering and erosion including wind and water
- Describe a landform that was shaped by weathering or erosion over time
FAQ
What do weathering and erosion worksheets teach second graders?⌄
Students learn that weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through physical and chemical processes, while erosion carries those pieces away by wind or water. For 7-8 year olds, visible examples like canyon formation, beach erosion, and potholes in roads make the long-term processes immediately real.
When do second graders learn about weathering and erosion?⌄
Weathering and erosion are introduced in Grade 2 Earth science as part of earth surface change units. The topic connects to rocks and minerals lessons (what gets weathered) and to landforms lessons (the shapes that result from erosion over time).
How can I use these worksheets at home?⌄
Simulate erosion in a baking pan, pile up dirt and sand to make a hill, then drizzle water over it slowly and observe what happens to the shape. Using the worksheets to record predictions and observations before and after the experiment models real scientific investigation.
