Program Description
Here today, Gone Tomorrow…Weathering and Erosion Students will investigate weathering and erosion through exciting hands-on investigations and video clips. They will understand the difference of these earth-changing processes by watching a “Super Hero” video clip that puts it all into perspective. At the end of the connection, the students will take the roll of game show contestants where they will prove that they can climb the $10,000 Pyramid with their scientific knowledge! Grades 4-5
Program Format
1. Introduction, Program Overview2. Weathering…what is it?3. Two types of weathering (Physical and Chemical)4. Each type will be explored with students through experimentation and discussion5. Review of concepts6. Game Time! ($10,000 Pyramid)7. Wrap up!
Objectives
As a result of this interactive lesson, students will:1. 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).2. Identify and describe how freezing, thawing and plant growth reshape the land surface by causing the weathering of rock.3. Describe evidence of changes on Earth's surface in terms of slow processes (e.g., erosion, weathering, mountain building, deposition)

Cancellation Policy
The MVESC understands the occasional need to reschedule programs due to changing schedules, inclement weather, or technical difficulties. However, the MVESC commits time and resources to a program the moment a reservation is received and presenters are scheduled. Presenters must be compensated for their preparation, time and travel. When scheduling a distance learning session, the following policy will be utilized.When scheduling a distance learning content session, the school agrees to make a commitment to have an audience for the time and date the session was originally scheduled. Be sure to have coordinated with teachers, technicians, coordinators, treasurers, and other parties prior to submitting the request. The Muskingum Valley ESC asks that anyone making a reservation please check school calendars for holidays, professional development days, and testing dates to avoid potential conflicts.Failure of a school to have the audience available for the scheduled distance learning session will result in a charge of $25 for the session. Scheduled events must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance of the session to avoid the $25 scheduling fee.This fee is not returnable and may not be applied toward a future session. This fee is necessary to compensate the presenter for his time in preparing for the session. This fee can be avoided by ensuring that your audience is present on the day and time of the presentation as scheduled.The MVESC strongly recommends performing a test connection at least 2 days prior to the event. The school has the right to cancel any program the day of the test if a successful connection cannot be made. In such a case the MVESC will not charge the $25 fee. If technical reasons prevent the successful connection on the day of the session, the $25 fee will also be waived. This $25 fee applies to all MVESC sponsored programming.All MVESC distance learning programs will only be scheduled upon receipt of a signed purchase order. These may be mailed or faxed to Leslie Charles at the Muskingum Valley ESC ( 740-455-6702 ).
