      TEKS 5.10C: Formation of Landforms

      • Landforms

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can determine if landforms are made by wind, water, or ice and give examples of each.

        Focuses On:

        • Landform creation due to wind, water, and ice
        • Weathering, erosion, and deposition

        Builds On:

        4.10(B) model and describe slow changes to Earth's surface caused by weathering, erosion, and deposition from water, wind, and ice

        Next Level:

        7.10(A) describe the evidence that supports that Earth has changed over time, including fossil evidence, plate tectonics, and superposition

        Read More:

        This lesson is designed to support student understanding of how landforms are shaped by wind, water, and ice through the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition over time.

        The lesson examines each agent of change—wind, water, and ice—separately, teaching students about the specific landforms each can create and identifying which processes (weathering, erosion, or deposition) are primarily responsible.

        This lesson builds upon student knowledge of weathering, erosion, and deposition from standard 4.10B and prepares them to learn more about Earth's changes over time in standard 7.10A.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do you teach Formation of Landforms to 5th graders?

      To teach Formation of Landforms to 5th grade Science students, anchor the concept in a hands-on investigation or real-world phenomenon, then build academic vocabulary and scientific reasoning through guided practice. TEKS 5.10C asks students to model and identify how changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, or ice result in the formation of landforms, including deltas, canyons, and sand dunes. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 5.10C walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.

      What is 5.10C in 5th grade Science?

      TEKS 5.10C is a 5th grade Science standard for Formation of Landforms. It requires students to model and identify how changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, or ice result in the formation of landforms, including deltas, canyons, and sand dunes. It is part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Grade 5 Science.

      Where can I find free TEKS 5.10C lessons and worksheets?

      You can download free TEKS 5.10C lessons and worksheets directly on this page — no login or account required.
