Whether or not the lesson is complex, the Inman Eagles will find a way to succeed. Dr. Tanisha Mobley’s 2nd graders recently completed a study of the weathering affects of water over time.

To study the process weathering and how it causes changes to the environment, the class investigated how water can slowly break down an object using colored water dripped onto sugar cubes.

Dr. Mobley thinks her class learned to appreciate that big things can happen, even if they don’t happen right away.

“It is my hope that students have a conceptual understanding that weathering is a slow process that happens over time and changes Earth’s surface.”
