Lesson Plans
1-7 to 1 - 10
New unit - Weathering and Erosion (short) will lead into the larger
Unit on Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes.
Start period 2 with the review of expectations with rotations around the school.New unit - Weathering and Erosion (short) will lead into the larger
Unit on Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes.
Tuesday/ Wednesday- Review of the Earth from the beginning to today. We will review the
universe beginning, the Earth’s beginning, and the consistent processes that shape our
world today. We will review uniformitarianism. Students will complete a skyward review
assignment in partners. Students will create a model of the earth’s layers on a paper plate.
Students will diagram the continental crust, the oceanic crust, the mantle (lithosphere and
asthenosphere), the outer core, and the inner core. Please bring your colored pencils or
markers to class. Homework is to read the weathering lab and prepare a testable
hypothesis, create the lab procedures and data collection chart. If this is not completed
before our next class it will only be given 50% credit. FIll in the yellow highlighted portion of
the lab sheet.
Thursday/ Friday - Skyward assignment to start. Turn in testable hypothesis, the lab
procedures and data collection chart. Students will review their materials with Mrs. Moore
and then begin the weathering lab. The lab will be about mechanical weathering and what
causes more weathering. Students will maintain one variable per experiment and control the
constants. We will discuss what makes the lab valid and reliable. We will graph our results
on sheet and include two different graphs - title, x and y axis, key, and data. A logical
conclusion statement should be made after reflecting on the data collected and confirm or
deny the hypothesis statement. The lab will be shared verbally with our peers next week.
