Your students can demonstrate their understanding of changes to the Earth’s surface with this assessment. After finding local occurrences of mechanical weathering, chemical weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition and erosion mitigation, they will create a book or digital presentation about them.

The criteria for the task are provided on the first page of the resource. It is duplicated so the page can be printed and cut in half. Worksheets are then included for each of the changes to Earth’s surface. They could be used for planning or to create a book. The pages could be printed on A4 or reduced to A5 booklet size. The resource also includes an assessment rubric. There is an optional page that relates to the English Australian Curriculum presentation skills and a blank page.

This resource is part of our Year 5 Earth and Space Sciences Unit.
