Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
In this unit, students study Earth’s systems, analyzing the science phenomena of natural processes that shape Earth’s surface. In this lesson, students model the different ways that tectonic plates move to observe how landforms are created. This page showcases key aspects of this lesson.
In this unit, students stimulate the movement of tectonic plates and analyze maps to observe how plate boundaries create patterns in Earth’s features. In this lesson, they build on that knowledge to observe the science phenomenon of how water erodes sediment. This page highlights key components of this lesson.
In this unit, students study Earth’s systems, analyzing the science phenomena of natural processes that shape Earth’s surface. In this lesson, students analyze clues in Earth’s rock to determine how Earth’s surface has changed over time. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.
In this unit, students analyze the science phenomena of how elements make up minerals, which make up rocks. In this lesson, they explore geologic phenomena that cause Earth’s surface to change over time in predictable patterns. This page is an overview of this lesson.
