In this Mystery, students investigate the effects of rocks tumbling in a river. Based on their observations, they construct an explanation for why there is sand at a beach.
In the activity, Rocking the River, students pretend to be a river and tear up pieces of construction paper to model what happens to rocks as they travel along the river.

2nd Grade Assignment from the Science Lab:
Mystery Science Lesson: “If you floated down a river where would you end up?"
Please click on the link below:
In this Mystery, students develop a model of the earth’s surface and use it to discover an important principle about how rivers work. In the activity, Paper Mountains, students take turns using a spray bottle to make rain fall on paper models of mountains to observe patterns of how water and rivers flow.
You may download/print the sheet below for the activity or simply use 8x10 sized paper of your own. Your can use regular tape for the "dots."
You can have a family member answer the same 2 questions for the two Habitats that you didn’t choose.
Parents: Some items that can be used to replace the “wax paper” are plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
If you do not have colored construction paper have your child draw the leaves on notebook paper and color them.
If you do not not have a spray bottle you can damp a sponge or piece of cloth with water.
