 * // Scientific Investigation #1 Wind Erosion

//Big6// Step   1: Define Your Task ** First we read and tried understanding the questions. We are going to find information about erosion over time. What materials do erosion carry. In order to find out what the 3 natural resources effect and reshape the Earth's surface over time. We have to find out what each natural resources do on the Earth's surface. We have to understand what erosion is? By looking up information in different resources such as books, Google, and internet sites. ** • **  I like your things that you came up with but your sentence does not make sense. But you really used good resoures that you would DeAngelo What I like about yours is that you put what you are doing to understand the task and you don't have nothing to add because it is fine the way it is. It gives me more details about erosion and where you are going to find your information. Khadijah

**•** Instead of books you could put library. We should add the word facts to it. Kevin

**•** I like that you used specific websites to research and that you are going to use materials. You could have changed the first sentence so that it makes sense. Sarah What about the Scientific Method? Mrs. S & W We have to read and understand the essential question. We are going to find information (facts) about wind erosion over time. We will use the scientific method by using a step by step process used by scientists in order to answer our question. In order to find out how the 3 natural resources effect and reshape the earth’s surface over time. We have to find out how each natural resource change the earth’s surface. We have to understand what erosion is by looking up information in different resources such as books (at the library), Google, articles, text books, and internet video sites.

**Our Research** From our research we found out that wind can move different types of soil but with different amounts of wind. For example it takes more wind to move heavier soil and less wind to move lighter soil. It does not occur in a short period of time, it takes a while for wind erosion to happen. Wind erosion can pick up and carry away rocks, pebbles, dirt, sand, and soil, then deposits it to a different place. Also from the wind experiment that we did, we learned that it takes a while for wind erosion to happen and places with little or no vegetation. Beaches deserts, and sand durnes are good examples of wind erosion because it doesn't have much plant life. It also happens in dry regions of the world. That is what our group learned about wind erosion from our research. ** Our Question ** Does it take more wind to move certain types of soils? ** Our Hypothesis  ** Our hypothesis for Group C is that we think it will take more wind to blow the heavier soils with the pebbles in them and it will take less wind to move lighter soil.

** //Big6// Step 5: Synthesis of information **

** Yes it took more wind to move soil C because it was the heaviest. Yes soil A was easier to move and the heavier sand took more wind to move (soil C). We learned that it takes a certain amount of wind to move certain soil. Like less wind for lighter soil and more wind for heavier soil. It also took more wind for soil B and C because they had pebles in them, but soil C had more.
 * Our Conclusion

** Overall we learned alot from this experiment and about wind erosion. We learned that wind picks up soil and carries soil to other places. We also learned that when some soils are heavier that it takes more wind to move them. Wind erosion reshapes the Earth's surface slowly and usually in dry places with no vegetation. Our group felt that we did a good job of using the Big6 process and the Scientific Method. Using the computers and taking pictures during our experiment was fun but it also helped us learn more about being a scientist and learning about wind erosion. // Group C We felt that you worked well together as a group. You seemed to have followed the Big6 process and worked like real scientists using the Scientific Method. Some things that you might want to consider when doing your next experiement would be to include some of your results from your observations and data in your conclusion. You might also want to revise some of your final drafts to make your information of what you have learned more clear for your audience. Mrs. W & S //
