Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow, and then transported and deposited in other locations.

Today we played a review game called trashketball.  The students really enjoyed it and I asked questions directly from the exam during the game.  I also handed out a review the students can use to study for their exam tomorrow.  If you would like help filling it in you can go to the link from the blog on Tuesday and it will be very helpful.
