Core Rigor

This comprehensive unit thoroughly explores weathering, erosion and deposition by water, ice, wind, living organisms, gravity, temperature and human activity. Phenomena such as sink holes, caverns, etc. that occur as as result of erosion and deposition are presented. Students are then guided through the Theory of Plate Tectonics and the evidence left on the Earth's Crust with the use of both pictures and map models. The unit culminates with an exploration of topographic maps. Three labs are incl

This is a comprehensive unit that begins with phenomena that has shaped the Earth's lithosphere since it was formed as well as how to use the knowledge we have found from history to predict for earthly life in the future. It begins with the theory of Pangea, the super continent and how tectonic plate drift occurred to form the seven major continents. The effects of tectonic plate movement such as volcanoes and earthquakes are then explored. Natural earth processes such as erosion, glacial erosio

This package is everything you need to teach and provide "hands-on" activities for the 5th grade Next Generation Science Standard 5-LS2A&B. There are 40 pages of presentation and 6 pages providing labs creating food chains and then converting to food webs as well as a lab on energy transfer. Included are adaptations,learned behavior, biotic and abiotic factors, autotrophs, heterotrophs, consumers, scavengers,decomposers, interactions between living things, energy transfer and the cycles invol
