sections of the river they observed. After completing their drawings, the students found a satellite image of the Merrimack River on the Internet. Using the Merrimack image, Mr. D helped students relate their birds-eye drawings to the satellite image. Students identified patterns of erosion, degrees of meandering, and surrounding vegetation. They used Web sites, topographical maps, and other resources to collect additional information about the river. They researched how the underlying bedrock, topology

When students work toward high expectations in these areas, they develop the foundation they need for success after graduation. G UIDING P RINCIPLE VIII Assessment in science and technology/engineering serves to inform student learning, guide instruction, and evaluate student progress. Assessment reflects classroom expectations and shows outcomes of student learning based on established knowledge and performance

Earth and Space Science Learning Standards High School 1.8 Read, interpret, and analyze a combination of ground-based observations, satellite data, and computer models to demonstrate Earth systems and their interconnections. 3.1 Explain how physical and chemical weathering leads to erosion and the formation of soils and sediments, and creates various types of landscapes. Give examples that show the effects of physical and chemical weathering on the
