Description
This earth science unit is jam-packed with meaningful lessons that explore earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering and erosion, along with other constructive and destructive forces that make slow and fast changes to the Earth’s surface. This all-in-one resource has everything you need from science experiments to differentiated activities and worksheets to science centers!
Get your students actively involved when you start this fast and slow changes of the earth unit. Students will begin by exploring the layers of the earth then the fast and slow changes, along with the constructive and deconstructive forces that are at play, all causing changes to the Earth’s surface and creating Earth’s landforms. As students work through these concepts, they will pause to get a deeper look at volcanoes, earthquakes, and of course, weathering and erosion!
Save at least 20% off when you purchase the bundle!
What Concepts & Skills are Covered?
- The three layers of the earth - composition and properties of the earth’s core, mantle, and crust
- Earthquakes - seismic activity, how earthquakes occur, and their effects on the earth’s surface
- Volcanoes - volcanic eruptions and the formation of volcanic landforms
- Weathering and erosion - the processes of weather and erosion and their role in shaping the earth’s surface
- Differentiation between constructive forces and destructive forces
- Causes of landforms - identifying the various factors, slow and fast changes, and destructive and constructive forces that contribute to the formation of landforms
- Fast and slow changes - Differentiating between fast and slow changes to the Earth’s surface
- Cause and Effect relationships between natural phenomena and the resulting changes to the Earth’s surface
- Scientific process skills through hands-on investigations, including observation, inference, data collection, and analysis
- Science vocabulary related to earthquakes, volcanoes, erosion, and landforms
What’s Included?
- Engaging, high-quality detailed lesson plans

- Kinesthetic activities
- Science centers and rotations
- Fast and slow changes worksheets, layers of the Earth worksheets, earth changes worksheets, and more!
- Cause and effect relationship practice
- Layers of the Earth role play activity
- Answer keys
- Flexible printing options - printer friendly and color versions (for lamination)
Why Grab This Resource?
- Through kinesthetic activities, science labs, and exploration of real-life phenomena like earthquakes and volcanoes, students can better visualize and understand complex earth science concepts in this unit.
- It provides comprehensive solutions to engage students, facilitate understanding, promote critical thinking, and streamline lesson planning.
- It offers a mix of cooperative learning, active learning, enrichment, and other accommodating opportunities so that you can meet your students’ needs.
Help your students unpack the layers of the earth, the fast and slow changes, along with the constructive and deconstructive processes that shape the Earth’s surface and create the Earth’s landforms. Engage with high-quality materials, kinesthetic activities, and science centers as you dive deep into volcanoes, earthquakes, and weathering and erosion. This valuable addition to any earth science curriculum should be added to your cart today!

Printing Notes:
While I recommend printing in color and laminating materials for future use, it is not necessary. These materials print just fine in grayscale. I would suggest printing "as image" to avoid any potential issues. Additionally, download the resource to your computer, open it, and then print. Printing from your browser often creates problems.
