Description

In this worksheet, students look at the impact that humans have on the Earth’s surface through adding and taking away. Not only do they do some light comprehension, they are also asked to dig a little deeper, by researching a project or new technology that is mitigating our impact on surface change.

This worksheet was created as part of a larger Year 5 Earth and Space Sciences unit on Weathering and Erosion titled ‘Surface Change’.
