Earth Science 2 Unit 1 Day 3

Learning: Students will learn about the structure of the Earth's layers by doing a simulation and using notes, words (lithosphere, crust, asthenosphere, mantle, density, temperature, inner core, outer core).


Questions:

1. What makes some layers of the Earth more dense than others? (book)
2. What property makes the asthenosphere or mantle unique? (book)
3. At what temperature do rocks melt? (book)

Earth Science 1 Unit 1 Day 3

Learning: Students will learn about aquifers by doing a lab and collecting observations using a graphic organizer, notes, and words (infiltration, soil moisture, groundwater), and partners.


Questions:

1. What does infiltration mean? (book or brain)
2. When and where does water infiltrate? (book or brain)
3. What factors affect whether water will infiltrate? (book or brain)

Chemistry Unit 1 Day 2 continued

Learning: Students will learn about the effects of electrons on atoms by doing a simulation using words (ions, atomic mass, neutrons, protons), notes, and check up partners.

Questions:

1. If an atom has 8 protons, how many electrons does it have? (book or brain)
2. Why are valence electrons important? (book or brain)
3. Why do we say electrons are in a cloud? (book or brain)

Earth Science 1 Unit 1 Day 2

Learning: Students will learn about the water cycle (where is your water?) by doing a model using partners, words (infiltration, groundwater, runoff, glaciers) and notes.

Questions:

1. What is groundwater? (book)
2. Why is groundwater important? (book/brain)
3. What is an aquifer? (book)

Earth Science 2 Unit 1 Day 2

Learning: Students will learn about Earth's strucuture by researching details about the layers of Earth using partners, words (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mantle, crust, inner core, outer core) and graphic organizer.


Questions:

1. What layer of the Earth's surface is the most important? Explain. (book/brain)
2. What is the asthenosphere? (book)
3. What makes the inner core of Earth so unique? (book)

Details to Research:

• Depth of the layer
• Thickness of the layer
• Composition of the Layer
• Temperature of the Layer
• 2-3 other important details about the layer

Day 2 Learning Science

Objective: Students will learn about the scientific process by gathering data and recording observations using groups, group roles, word walls/notes and data tables.

Questions:

1. What do you think members of a group try to do? 
2. What do you think members of a group should never do?
3. What do you value in your classmates, use the following sentence starter to help you: I value people who are...

Day 1 Active Learning And Your Learning
