Module 19: Quick and Slow Changes- Science 2 - Course Guide
Module Overview:
In this module, students will learn to describe the characteristics, causes, and effects of earthquakes and volcanoes and show a demonstration of an earthquake or a volcano. They will describe the causes of erosion, locate and observe examples of erosion happening locally, and make predictions about future erosion. Students will describe how weathering contributes to soil formation and investigate how erosion changes the Earth.
