Changes to Earth's Surface

Grade 2 - Science - On Level

NameDate

  1. Earth event: a landslide moves soil down a hill after heavy rain. Is this a fast or slow surface change?

    • only a weather report
    • no surface change
    • slow change
    • fast change

  2. What most directly causes this surface change: tree roots crack a sidewalk over years?

    • the color of the soil
    • the name of the town
    • classroom light
    • growing roots

  3. Which observation is evidence for the change in "waves break pieces from a sandy shore"?

    • the field has a name
    • the shoreline moves back over time
    • the hill has a pretty view
    • the sand is a favorite color

  4. Which solution could help with this surface-change problem: wind blows loose sand into small dunes?

    • make the wind stronger
    • use fences or plants to slow the sand
    • ignore all evidence
    • add loose soil to every slope

  5. Which sequence best represents a surface change investigation?

    • name the map -> ignore the land -> finish
    • erase the evidence -> copy the answer -> stop
    • observe the surface -> identify the cause -> plan a response
    • predict first -> refuse data -> change the question

  6. Earth event: waves break pieces from a sandy shore. Is this a fast or slow surface change?

    • fast change
    • slow change
    • only a weather report
    • no surface change

  7. What most directly causes this surface change: a flood spreads mud across a field?

    • the color of the soil
    • flood water
    • classroom light
    • a paper map

  8. Which observation is evidence for the change in "a river carries sand from one bank to another"?

    • the field has a name
    • the sand is a favorite color
    • the student guessed first
    • the bank is worn away over many days

  9. Which solution could help with this surface-change problem: a flood spreads mud across a field?

    • add loose soil to every slope
    • remove every observation
    • make the wind stronger
    • build safe drainage paths

  10. Which sequence best represents a surface change investigation?

    • name the map -> ignore the land -> finish
    • observe the surface -> identify the cause -> plan a response
    • erase the evidence -> copy the answer -> stop
    • choose a favorite rock -> stop observing -> guess
