Earth's Features: A Complete Earth Science Unit Bundle ⛰️
This comprehensive, no-prep Earth's Features Unit Bundle is designed for middle school science and covers everything your students need to know about the processes that shape our planet's surface.
From the slow drift of tectonic plates to the rapid changes from volcanoes and earthquakes, this bundle is packed with engaging presentations, hands-on labs, and assessments. Both printable and digital versions are included to support any learning environment.

What's Included:

• Instructional Materials: A day-by-day unit pacing guide, an editable 80-slide PowerPoint and Google Slides presentation, and differentiated Cornell notes to keep students engaged.
• Labs and Activities: Hands-on labs modeling plate boundaries with graham crackers, an edible rock cycle lab, a stream table lab to investigate erosion, and a virtual earthquake simulation.
• Reinforcement and Practice: A full vocabulary set, concept maps, topographic map reading exercises, and a landform research project.
• Review and Assessment: 45 review task cards, a class debate on land use policy, a comprehensive unit study guide, and an editable 50-question unit test with an answer key and a Google Forms version for easy grading.

Key Topics Covered:

• Plate Tectonics: The theory of continental drift and the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates.
• Plate Boundaries: Convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries and the features they create (e.g., mountains, volcanoes, rift valleys).
• Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition: How wind, water, and ice break down and move rock and soil to create new landforms.
• The Rock Cycle: The processes that form and change igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
• Volcanoes and Earthquakes: The causes and effects of these dramatic geological events.
• Topographic Maps: How to read and interpret maps that show the elevation and shape of the land.
