    Description

    This engaging bundle combines the Earth's Crust and Rock Cycle Unit with the Weathering and Erosion Unit. Save $$$ by purchasing this bundle. Each product is also sold separately in my store.

    The Earth's Crust and Rock Cycle unit is aligned to NGSS and includes:

    Activity 1: Classifying Rocks Students classify rocks into 3 groups using observations.

    Activity 2: Rock On!: Students simulate the rock cycle using gum and pop rocks.

    Activity 3: Pangaea Activity: Students create a puzzle using the continents to demonstrate Pangea.

    Activity 4: Ring of Fire: Students plot locations of volcano and notice that volcano locations are where tectonic plates meet.

    Activity 5: Shake it Up: Students create structures out of toothpicks and mini marshmallows and then test their strength in an earthquake simulation.

    Activity 6: Stress Me Out!: Students use a miniature candy bar to simulate the 3 different types of stresses on the Earth’s crust.

    Activity 7: Earth’s Changing Surface Informational reading and questions

    Activity 8: Word Wall cards and Activity Ideas

    An optional post test and grading rubric are also included

    The Weathering and Erosion unit includes 4 inquiry based activities to help students develop a conceptual understanding about weathering and erosion.

    Activity 1: There She Blows: Students investigate wind erosion using a straw and sand.

    Activity 2: Sticks and Stones: Students investigate water erosion with a mudslide simulation.

    Activity 3: Sugar Cube Shake: Students investigate mechanical weathering with a sugar cube experiment.

    Activity 4: Water and Weathering: Students investigate the impact of chemical weathering using temperature as a variable.

    Activity 5: Chemical Weathering: Students investigate the impacts of chemicals on weathering using chalk and vinegar.

    Activity 6: Informational Reading on Acid Rain

    Activity 7: Weathering or Erosion? Students read scenarios and identify which parts are the weathering and which are erosion.

    Activity 8: Weathering and Erosion Bingo: Students wrap up the unit by playing Weathering and Erosion Bingo. This serves as a great review of vocabulary. A supplemental thermometer reading practice is also included.

    Activity 9: Word Wall Cards and Games

    •An optional post test and grading rubric are also included.

    NGSS4-ESS2-2
    Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s features. Maps can include topographic maps of Earth’s land and ocean floor, as well as maps of the locations of mountains, continental boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
    NGSS4-ESS2-1
    Make observations and/or measurements to provide evidence of the effects of weathering or the rate of erosion by water, ice, wind, or vegetation. Examples of variables to test could include angle of slope in the downhill movement of water, amount of vegetation, speed of wind, relative rate of deposition, cycles of freezing and thawing of water, cycles of heating and cooling, and volume of water flow. Assessment is limited to a single form of weathering or erosion.
