Ck 12: Fourth Grade: Earth Science: Erosion and Deposition by Flowing Water
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses how flowing water causes erosion; describes how runoff, streams, and rivers change Earth's surface; and identifies features caused by groundwater erosion.
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Fourth Grade Science: Earth Science: Erosion and Deposition by Waves
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Discusses how waves cause erosion of shorelines, features formed by wave deposition, and ways to protect shorelines from wave erosion.
TeachEngineering
Teach Engineering: Glaciers, Water and Wind, Oh My!
This hands-on activity explores five different forms of erosion (chemical, water, wind, glacier and temperature). Students rotate through stations and model each type of erosion on rocks, soils and minerals. The students record their...

Mocomi: Erosion: Facts and Information
Explains erosion, its effects, causes, and how it can be controlled.
Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College
Serc: Rain Erosion: Does the Rate of Water Effect Erosion?
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...
