Focus:

This webquest focuses on some of Ohio's Earth and Space Standards for Fourth Grade. It was designed for use toward the end of a unit on Land and Water. 

 

Ohio Standards:

Describe how wind, water and ice shape and reshape Earth’s land surface by eroding rock and soil in some areas and depositing them in other areas producing characteristic landforms (e.g., dunes, deltas, glacial moraines).

 

Identify and describe how freezing, thawing and plant growth reshape the land surface by causing the weathering of rock.

   

Describe evidence of changes on Earth’s surface in terms of slow processes (e.g., erosion, weathering, mountain building, deposition) and rapid processes (e.g. volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides).
