During Introduction
Begin by asking students what they remember about weathering and erosion from previous lessons. Then, introduce the concept of exogenous processes as forces acting on the Earth's surface. Define erosion.
5 min
Students recall previous knowledge and participate in a brief discussion about weathering and erosion.
Whiteboard or projector
Observe student participation in the discussion.
During Presentation
Explain running water erosion as the process by which flowing water wears away and transports soil and rock. Detail the factors influencing its rate (gradient, velocity, volume of water, resistance of materials). Show examples of landforms created by it.
25 min
Students take notes on the definition and factors influencing running water erosion. They ask clarifying questions and engage in a brief Q&A session.
Textbook, images/videos of river erosion (e.g., Grand Canyon) 
Informal questioning to check understanding; observation of note-taking.
Stabilization
Summarize the main points about running water erosion. Ask students if they have any questions or doubts.
5 min
Students ask questions and clarify their understanding of the concepts.
Whiteboard or projector
Review student questions to gauge understanding and address any misconceptions.
Checking Evaluation
Ask students to briefly explain, in their own words, what running water erosion is and one factor that affects it.
5 min
Students provide short explanations.
None
Assess student understanding based on their explanations.
Day 2: Processes of Running Water Erosion
Subject: Geography Grade Level: 12th Grade Topic: Exogenous Geological Processes - Processes of Running Water Erosion Duration: 40 minutes
Specific Objectives:
- Cognitive: Describe the processes involved in running water erosion: hydraulic action, abrasion, solution, and attrition.
- Affective: Develop an appreciation for the complex processes that shape river landscapes.
- Psychomotor: Draw and label a diagram illustrating the different processes of river erosion.

During Introduction
Briefly review the previous day's lesson on running water erosion. Ask students to recall the factors that influence erosion rates.
5 min
Students recall and share information from the previous lesson.
Whiteboard or projector
Observe student participation and assess their understanding of the previous lesson.
During Presentation
Explain each of the following processes in detail: Hydraulic Action (the force of water against the banks and bed of the river), Abrasion (the wearing away of the banks and bed by the load carried by the river), Solution (dissolving of soluble rocks), and Attrition (the wearing down of the load itself as particles collide). Show examples of each.
25 min
Students take notes on each process, including definitions and examples. They ask questions to clarify their understanding.
Diagrams or videos illustrating each process, examples of soluble rocks (e.g., limestone) 
Observe student note-taking and participation in the Q&A session. Collect a short paragraph summarizing the different erosion processes.
Stabilization
Summarize the different processes of running water erosion, emphasizing the importance of each in shaping the landscape. Address any remaining questions.
5 min
Students ask clarifying questions and consolidate their understanding.
Whiteboard or projector
Review student questions to gauge understanding and address any misconceptions.
Checking Evaluation
Ask students to describe, in their own words, the difference between abrasion and attrition.
5 min
Students provide explanations.
None
Assess student understanding based on their explanations.
Day 3: Sea Wave Erosion and Coastal Landforms
Subject: Geography Grade Level: 12th Grade Topic: Exogenous Geological Processes - Sea Wave Erosion Duration: 40 minutes
Specific Objectives:
- Cognitive: Explain the processes of sea wave erosion, including hydraulic action, abrasion, corrosion, and attrition. Identify and describe landforms created by sea wave erosion.
- Affective: Recognize the dynamic nature of coastlines and the impact of wave action on coastal environments.
- Psychomotor: Draw a diagram of a coastline, labeling key features formed by wave erosion (e.g., cliffs, caves, arches, stacks).
