s Students will further their understanding of sediment cycling (erosion and deposition) on and off beaches. Students will be able to sort and classify by size at least 3 particle (grain) sizes of beach sediment, then discuss how size relates to erosion potential by waves and wind. Students will be able to list three features/attributes of a beach that determine its coastal vulnerability or erosion potential. Students will be able to predict beach and dune response to climate change scenarios. Background Information to conduct this lesson plan Classroom Duration: 2 hours.Plan for a 10 minute group introduction to the beach and safety discussion, about 25 minutes each activity. Below is a summary forthe three beach field trip activities. To view/print the full activity instructions and datasheets open the file:Field trip-Beaches in Motion-Coastal Vulnerabilit.
