This is a fifth-grade student science experience tied to SEEd standard 5.1.3. In this experience students investigate the physical weathering of rocks.
These experiences were designed to support students in engaging in science investigations with siblings and/or parents at home and then report back about what was discovered. They were created in a way that is easily adaptable for both online and printed formats. They are formatted to help students wonder about and investigate the science phenomena happening in the world around them. These experiences do not describe how students should write up and return work to their teacher. It is up to each teacher to adapt them to best meet student needs. When individualized by the teacher, a student could be asked to engage in one or more of these experiences a week and report back. This format aligns closely to the vision and expectation of the SEEd standards.

A set of lessons that covers the SEEd standards 5.1.1, 5.1.2, 5.1.3 and 5.1.4.

Students will create a tour of the topic they have been assigned. Topic will center around the rock cycle including formation of rocks, and weathering and erosion of rocks. Students will use a minimum of 6 original photos and 2 CC images to complete the assignment. Students will need to include the important elements they are supposed to convey and will teach the other class members in a jigsaw using Jamboard. The students will have 3 weeks with 10 lessons to complete the assignment. Extra credit for converting one original image into a CC image to share!"Rock City" by snowpeak is licensed under CC BY 2.0 

Adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see the glacier grow and shrink. Use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this unit plan, students use genius hour to learn about different landforms from Utah's nations parks that were created through weathering and erosion. Students will also research explorers to learn how to use Utah's Online Library and cite ources.Thumbnail image taken by David Woodhead

Student facing Nearpod lessons for the SEEdStoryLines. A free K-6 science curriculum written by teachers and based on both the 5E and GRC models. It is a student-centered curriculum that uses a storyline format to promote wonder, sensemaking, and problem solving. It includes both face-to-face and remote materials. This lesson hits the standard 5.1.3 but focuses on how water effects the geosphere using flashfloods. (this is episode 1 so it introduces the phenomon)

The lesson than looks at the weathering of wind, water and ice, you can do the experiment or just look at the data and talk about it.

This is an interactive, fifth-grade Nearpod lesson tied to SEEd standard 5.1.3. It guides students through information and activities about the effects of weathering by water, ice, wind, or plants.
This resource is a student-ready, three-dimensional SEEd science lesson you can add to your Nearpod library. Many of the phenomena, text, and images come from UEN OER textbooks, Seedstorylines.org, ck12.org, and pixabay.com. Most videos are from youtube.com or pbslearningmedia.org. Many of the simulations were found at phet.colorado.edu, ck12.org, and pbslearningmedia.org. This lesson is unique to Nebo School District but was built with the help of many amazing ideas from teachers throughout Utah.
