Hello my name is Shawn Roberts, 6th grade science teacher at Northern Middle School. Science and Math have always have been my favorite subjects in school. I am currently in my 3rd year of teaching at Northern. I am also involved in several other activities, sixth grade basketball coach, archery, and chess club. I strive to make science interesting and fun while helping students to solve real-world problems.

SC-06-2.3.3
Students will compare constructive and destructive forces on Earth in order to make predictions about the nature of landforms.

Landforms are a result of a combination of constructive and destructive forces. Collection and analysis of data indicates that constructive forces include crustal deformation, faulting, volcanic eruption and deposition of sediment, while destructive forces include weathering and erosion. DOK 2
