PTT:
1) Turn to p. 62-64
2) Read over the results from the lab and consider: "what did I learn about weathering and erosion?"
Task 1:
1) Turn to p. 65 in your science notebook
2) Title the page: Weathering Concept Map
and Record the date
NOTE: The essential question is the same as recorded on p. 62 - What are the different ways that weathering and erosion affect rocks?
3) Follow along as Ms. Davis creates a concept map for the different types of weathering
We will also create an Erosion Concept Map on p. 66
4) Highlight any important or new terms in the concept maps

Task 2:
Chose ONE of the following options to reflect on your learning from the lab - complete it in Google Drive and put it in your science folder (GRADED ASSIGNMENT). This is due by Friday, November 22nd.
OPTION 1: Write a letter to a 5th grader about weathering and erosion. Explain to them the following things:
- what are these processes and how do they work together to affect rocks
- what are the types of weathering and give examples of each
- what are the types of erosion and give examples of each
- why weathering and erosion are important to us in Monterrey
*Outline:
- Introduction: why are you writing the letter?
- Paragraph about weathering: explanation and examples
- Paragraph about erosion: explanation and examples
- Paragraph about how weathering and erosion affect Monterrey
- Sign-Off (sincerely, from, etc.)
OPTION 2: Create a presentation (google presentation) about weathering and erosion. Include the following things:
- what are these processes and how do they work together to affect rocks
- what are the types of weathering and give examples WITH PICTURES of each
- what are the types of erosion and give examples WITH PICTURES of each
- why weathering and erosion are important to us in Monterrey
*Outline:
- Title page
- Slide about weathering: explanation
- 2-3 slides with examples of weathering (include pictures)
- Slide about erosion: explanation
- 2-3 slides with examples of erosion (include pictures)
- Slide(s) about how weathering and erosion affect Monterrey
- Slide with links to image sources
OPTION 3: Write a lab report about the stream tables
- Problem Question: How does water erosion affect landscapes and landforms?
- Include ALL of the parts of a regular lab report (problem question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, observations/data, and conclusion)
Closure: Answer the essential question at the bottom of p. 66
