This is a second-grade student science experience tied to SEEd standard 2.1.2. In this experience students construct explanations about what changes to EarthÕs surface occur quickly or slowly.
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.

They will showcase their learning by creating a book with photographs and descriptions. 

This resource is a Science student activity that utilizes Utah's Online Library resources - specifically, World Book Online - to help students learn about mountain types.
