Standard: Show Content Tip
5c Students know moving water erodes landforms, reshaping the land by taking it away from some places and depositing it as pebbles, sand, silt, and mud in other places (weathering, transport, and deposition).


Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Investigations 2 and 3 in the "Landforms" module and pages 13-14, 15-21 and 25-27 in "Science Stories" provide moderate coverage of this standard.


Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text is limited with respect to "weathering;" it does not clearly define it or distinguish it from erosion. Text does not use the word deposition. See CONTENT TIP for the correct scientific use of the words "erosion" and "weathering."
