Erosion is the wearing away of soil by wind, water, gravity, or human impact. It occurs naturally but can be
made worse by human activities such as farming, logging, and mining. The most common type of erosion
happens when soil is washed off a slope by rainwater.
The implications of soil erosion by water extend beyond the removal of valuable topsoil. Crop
emergence, growth and yield are directly affected by the loss of natural nutrients and applied fertilizers.
Seeds and plants can be disturbed or completely removed by the erosion. Organic matter from the soil,
residues and any applied manure, is relatively lightweight and can be readily transported off the field,
Key Concepts / Understandings to be
particularly during spring thaw conditions. Pesticides may also be carried off the site with the eroded soil.
Developed
Soil quality, structure, stability and texture can be affected by the loss of soil. The breakdown of aggregates
and the removal of smaller particles or entire layers of soil or organic matter can weaken the structure and
even change the texture. Textural changes can in turn affect the water-holding capacity of the soil, making it
more susceptible to extreme conditions such as landslides and drought.

4. Procedures
4.1 Introductory Activity Review: What is soil erosion?
Motivation: Have a gallery walk on the different rock formation.
5 minutes
By looking at the picture , what have you observed?
4.2 Activity Activity 1: Group the class into three(3) to do the following
1. Make a sand pyramid on top of the plastic cover.
2. Design the toy houses, trees and grasses around the sand pyramid.
3. Make a rain using the strainer and water on the pyramid for 5 seconds, then 10 seconds.
Guide Questions:
1. What happens to the set up when you pour water on it for 5 seconds?
For 10 seconds?
2. What made the soil erode or wear away?
3. When the soil loosens up and erode, what happens to the houses and trees?
10 minutes 4. What are the effects of soil erosion made by water or rain?
5. How would you reduce soil erosion caused by water or rain?
As soon as you complete the assigned task, gather all your used materials and go back to your desk to
finalize your output for posting and reporting.

1.What happens to the set up when you pour water on it for 5 seconds?for 10 seconds?
= when pouring water into the set up for 5 seconds the soil loosened slowly
= when pouring water into the set up for 10 seconds the soil loosened and eroded
3. When the soil loosens up and erode, what happens to the houses and trees?
=the toy houses and trees were destroyed
