Overview:

A reading sheet explaining the process of deposition and its role in shaping Earth's landscapes. Includes a word search to reinforce key vocabulary. Suitable for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the process of deposition and how it forms new land features.
• Identify examples of deposition in different environments, such as rivers, beaches, and deserts.
• Build vocabulary related to deposition through a word search activity.

How the Activity Works:

Students read an engaging text about deposition, exploring how sediments are transported and eventually settled in new locations, creating features like deltas, sand dunes, and riverbanks. The text highlights the connection between erosion and deposition, providing real-world examples to illustrate the process. After reading, students complete a word search featuring key terms like deposition, sediment, delta, erosion, and riverbank to reinforce learning and develop their understanding of the topic.
