Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition Wheel Craft – A Hands-On Geology Activity!

Engage your students in an interactive way to explore how Earth’s surface is broken down and reshaped through weathering, erosion, and deposition. This creative wheel craft reinforces key geology concepts, making learning both memorable and fun.

This project is a great addition to your geology unit, encouraging deeper understanding through hands-on learning. Students will color, cut, and assemble the wheel using a large brad, matching pictures with the correct terms and definitions as they spin. This process helps solidify their understanding of these essential earth science concepts.

Use the included teacher poster and vocabulary word strips to introduce the topic beforehand, giving students a strong foundation before they create their wheel.

Whether used as a classroom review or assessment tool, this activity ensures students can confidently explain the differences between weathering, erosion, and deposition. It’s an engaging way to bring geology lessons to life!

What’s Included:

• 3 vocabulary word strips with key terminology

• 1 teacher poster or anchor chart defining each process

• 2 craft pages for students to color, cut, and assemble
