Experiment one: water erosion

 Question: What happens to land when water flows over it?

Hypothesis: I think water erosion happens, when water erodes earth and carries it down the river.

Materials: Fine sand, rough sand, clay, 3 cups of water, ruler, stream table, beaker.

Procedure: 1. mix fine and rough sand with clay; 2. make the sand flat; 3. put the water in the beaker; 4. wait for the results

Observation: 0:35 forming a little pond; 1:25 the water is starting to go down; 2:30 the water is making a river; 4:00 the water is starting to spit out; 5:00 some of the water fell from the stream table; 6:30 the water stopped.

      

 Conclusion: the water eroded the sand/clay and made a river, but our experiment failed and we need to do better next time.

EQ: I think that our earth is shaped like this because of how it changed and changed over the millions of years, because of landslides, earthquakes and other events. It is how the earth is, and we should like it , but prevent anything that could happen to harm us. We have devices to warn us and that is good enough, because the earth is always changing, events and events happen, so we must know how to deal with them, even though some of them are our fault.

Science

Erosion: Erosion happens when the wind the water or other natural forces hit the earth and makes it fall off.

Flood: When a lot of water comes into land and takes everything with it.


Weathering: A natural process that shapes the earth and rocks.


Deforestation: when people cut down or burn forests, on purpose or not.


Earht's plates: earth's outer layer is made from large things called plates, all of our land and water lie on the plates.


Landslides: When earth from mountain sides fall and cause huge destruction.


Glaciers: When big moving islands of ice are in the ocean


Rapid process erosion: Erosion that happens very fast, like  when a earthquake strikes and some land disappears.


Slow process erosion: When wind erosion hits a rock, a very slow progress happens until the rock is shaped like something else.


Tsunami: When an earthquake happens in the middle of the ocean, very soon a big, giant, humongous wave hits the shore, that is a tsunami.


Earthquake: When the ground shakes and big rocks under the ground move.


Debris: rubbish, trash.


Topsoil: Surface land that farmers usually plant on, or where plants grow most of their root.


Sediment: Stones and sand that are deposited by wind water or ice.


Volcanoes: More than one volcano.


Canyon: A deep valley with steep sides and usually a little river flowing in between


Plateau: A long flat space in high land


Dune: A hill of sand piled by the wind


Delta:A triangle shaped piece of land made by deposits of mud or sand in the bank of a river


valley: An area of lowland between mountains.

Michel the wise

My name is Michel, My favorite topic as a scientist is mostly about animals, because if they die, the world as we know it would end, so I would study them, and then save them. I like baseball and soccer, my favorite kind of science this year is animal adaptations, I like to know about how animals survive and create strange living things.

Learning science is very important, because you know how to make cool experiments and know how our earth is now and how to make it better. I would want to learn how to do chemistry, because there are a lot of experiments to do and it sounds fun.  If I were to be a scientist I would be a chemistry scientist or an inventor.
