The video tutorial for second-graders covers the study of landforms, focusing on the role of geologists. It discusses the mystery of a flagpole moving closer to a cliff edge, exploring concepts like erosion and sand formation. The tutorial uses models to demonstrate canyon formation and the power of water in shaping landforms. Students are encouraged to practice explaining these changes, preparing for a more detailed explanation in a future lesson.
