![]() | Demonstrate how erosion happens in different ways No matter where you look, the land you see is a
battleground. On one side of the battle are the forces beneath
the surface. These forces cause the crust to be faulted, folded,
tilted, and lifted. On the other side of the battle are the
natural processes of weathering and erosion. Once rock has been
broken up by weathering the small pieces can be moved by water,
ice, wind, or gravity. Ev | ||

![]() | What is the effect of light on a Crayfish? The purpose of this experiment was to determine if Crayfish are attracted to light or repelled by light. I became interested in this idea when I had Crayfish for a class pet in fourth grade, and didnít know weather to leave the lights on around them or to leave them in a dark area.

![]() | Understanding the El Nino effect This lesson is a good one for students to have a better understanding for their environment. It is important for students to have an understanding for the things around them. El Nino effects us every 3-5 years and that will definitely be in the students life time. It is important for students to know about the weather patterns and how they are effected by the El Nino effect. Through doing this le | ||

![]() | What is the water cycle? Precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration are all terms that sound familiar, yet may not mean much to you. They are all part of the water cycle, a complex process that not only gives us water to drink, fish to eat, but also weather patterns that help grow our crops. | ||

![]() | What is the effect of acid rain on Lichens? ![]() The purpose for this experiment is to investigate the effect of acidic solution on fruticose, foliose, and crustose lichens. This experiment is being done to model the effect of acid rain on lichens in the natural environment and to use this information to determine if these lichens can be used as bioindicators. | ||
