Erosion - Lesson for Grade 2, Chapter - Changes
In the "Erosion" lesson, designed for Grade 2 students as part of the "Changes" chapter in the Science unit, students will embark on an exciting journey to understand the concept of erosion and its impactful role in shaping our planet. Through engaging activities such as the "Causes of Erosion Worksheet" and the "Erosion Worksheet," students will explore the different factors that contribute to erosion, including water, wind, and human activities.
Learning about erosion is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps young students develop an appreciation for the Earth's dynamic surface and the natural processes that continuously mold and transform our environment. Understanding erosion also instills a sense of responsibility in students, emphasizing the importance of environmental stewardship and the need for sustainable practices to minimize our impact on the planet. Additionally, this lesson lays the foundation for more complex scientific concepts they will encounter in future studies, making it a crucial stepping stone in their educational journey.
By the end of this lesson, students will have gained valuable knowledge about how erosion works and why it plays a significant role in both natural ecosystems and human societies.

Activity 1 / Causes of Erosion Worksheet
The land we live on is called Earth, and Earth provides us with everything that we need to survive, making it a very habitable planet for all life forms. However, some things happen that causes huge portions of the Earth surface to wash away or crumble. Sometimes, these things are caused by man’s carelessness, and other times by nature. Teach your kids the three causes of erosion which are air, water, and human. Then, look at the worksheet with them and circle the correct cause of erosion.
