This resource was created as a virtual lab demonstration to help students understand the composition of rocks in the earth's crust. It practices using a dichotomous key. The presentation is set up as a storyboard to help students understand how rocks in the earth's crust consist of only a few types of minerals. Scientists use the physical and chemical properties of rocks to identify the mineral composition in the rock, thus identifying the rock type.  I use this interactive presentation to intro

This 10 day set of lesson plans is designed to administer a personalized, self-paced individualized series of activities centering on North Carolina’s essential standard: 8.E.2  Understand the history of Earth and its life forms based on evidence of change recorded in fossil records and landforms.The activities are listed in a  Playlist” hyperdoc. A hyperdoc is an electronic document that provides links to required activities making transitions between the hyperdoc and the activity easy and con

This resource was created as a virtual lab demonstration to help students understand how location along fault lines between tectonic plates produce earthquakes and cause geohazards: earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis. It is highly interactive and presents a “virtual” demonstration. It has two formative assessments that can be used to determine learning outcomes. This lesson plan is complete. It includes highly engaging slides boom learning cards for independent practice/remote learning digit

7.E.1 — Understand how the cycling of matter (water and gases) in and out of the atmosphere relates to Earth’s atmosphere, weather and climate and the effects of the atmosphere on humans. 7.E.1.1 — Compare the composition, properties and structure of Earth’s atmosphere to include mixtures of gases and differences in temperature and pressure within layers.Earth Systems, Structures and Processes Properties of the Atmosphere  Interactive Notebook ActivityIn this activity students will create a mode

Talking Points, is a game of guided discussion of essential science standards between the competitors. Each team of 4-6 players must recall, verbalize, instruct, prove, and analyze statements and questions to win the game. This card game includes: Game play directions 16 color playing cards Not included, but need for play: dice Focus Standards: 6.E.2 Understand the structure of the earth and how interactions of constructive and destructive forces have resulted in changes in the surface of t

This activity is designed to help students understand how physical properties help scientists determine the identity of an unknown substance. It is a hands-on laboratory experiment that uses typical household products to determine the identity of two mystery powders. 6.P.2.3 NC Essential Science Standards - I can identify the a physical property of a substance using solubility, density, melting point, boiling point, and freezing point.

Layers of the Earth || Notebook Dividers with Assessment This notebook organizer is designed to help students organize their notes and activities surrounding the layers of the earth. This activity is used organize the unit on the lithosphere. It should be printed on colored paper and glued on either side of one page in their notebook. The outer edge becomes a notebook “tab” to mark the starting point in their notebook of this unit. Want to create your own notebook dividers? I’ve included an edit

Earth Systems, Structures and Processes Class DemonstrationIn this activity students will observe a model of the earth’s atmosphere.  Students will then discuss their observations and collaborate on a class definition of the composition of air. Prior to class fill a glass jar with the following materials:78 red beans, 21 white beans, 1 black bean then show students the jar.   Students should make observations using the student answer sheet and then answer the questions that follow.

In this laboratory investigation, students will be challenged to investigate the best insulating material made from recycled materials. Background information, data tables and data analysis sheets are included. Materials need: Beakers of various sizes, thermometer, cardboard, styrofoam, bubble wrap, hot water, and stopwatch.
