Preventing Erosion
Science · Earth's Systems · procedural
Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land
What mastery looks like
- Describe how wind and water can change the shape of land (erosion)
- Compare at least two design solutions for reducing erosion (e.g. retaining walls, plants, windbreaks)
- Evaluate which solution works best based on evidence from tests or observations
Check your understanding
If Preventing Erosion sees a sandcastle being washed away by waves, can they think of ways to protect it — like building a wall or planting grass to hold the sand?
