    Description

    This bundle has 4 of my products aligned to 4th grade NGSS Earth Science Standards.

    Included in this bundle are 2 inquiry units and 2 presentations to correspond with each unit. The presentations are in 2 formats; PowerPoint and Google™ slides.

    Weathering and Erosion Inquiry Unit:

    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

    Post tests (2 options with answer keys)


    Weathering and Erosion Presentation:

    The colorful and animated power point includes slides on different types of weathering and erosion along with a student notes page. that could also be used as an assessment. The last part of the power point presents students with pictures where they will attempt to decide if the picture shows weathering or erosion. Notes are also included for the teacher on most of the slides.


    Earth's Crust Inquiry Unit:

    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 with key and grading rubric are also included. (2 options available)


    Earth's Crust Presentation:

    The colorful and animated power point includes slides on different classifications of rocks, the theory of plate tectonics, and earthquakes and volcanoes. A student notes page is also included that could be used as an assessment. Notes are also included for the teacher on most of the slides.

    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.
