Learn about the factors that affect soil erosion.

This website uses photographs to show the human impact that wind erosion had on people's lives during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

An informative site that examines the multiple causes of soil erosion and possible remedies.

Different types of erosion are discussed along with suggested ways to solve erosion problems on farms in this two-page article.

Seven hands-on lessons module allows middle schoolers to learn about soils. These inquiry-based investigations explore the kinds and arrangements of materials in soils, the amount of water that flows through soil, and how soil is eroded.

Students learn about how soil is made, who really needs soil, and what happens to soil if you don't take care of it.

Students learn about water erosion through an experimental process in which small-scale buildings are placed along a simulated riverbank to experience a range of flooding conditions. They make model buildings either with a 3D printer or...

Activities help students understand erosion.

In this lab activity, students will look for evidence of erosion in river or streams. This activity should take place after students have observed erosion in a model.

This website uses space photographs to illustrate the impact of wind erosion. Clicking on a picture will enlarge it to provide a better view.

An introduction to the basic concepts of stream erosion, with illustrated examples from a creek called Denton Creek. Contains review questions at the bottom of the page.

In this environmental science fair project, students will build models of fields prepared by plow-based and no-till methods, and see which ones are best at retaining soil moisture and preventing surface runoff.

This website explains the problem that erosion has created for this particular lighthouse. There is a detailed explanation of what is causing the erosion and how to fix it.

In this lab, students investigate whether the rate of water falling (rain) affects the amount of erosion (soil movement). This experiment could lead to further questions: how does grass or rocks effect soil erosion, does erosion lead to...
