Name:__________________________________ Date:__________ Pd:___ Unpacking the Standards ( Unit 1: Rocks, Minerals, and Earth’s Resources-Advanced Content) Standard S6E5: (Circle the noun(s) and underline the verb(s).) S6E5. Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed. Essential Questions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. How are earth materials important to our society? How can rocks be classified according to the processes that formed them? How does the formation of a rock affect its physical properties and chemical composition? What rocks and minerals can be found at the surface of each Georgia physiographic province? How can a mineral identification checklist be used to identify minerals? How can one class or rocks transform into another? Enduring Understandings 1. 2. 3. 4. Students will recognize the value of earth materials. Students will inductively classify earth materials by formation. Students will identify the pattern of earth materials across Georgia. Students will understand that all things change as they go through cycles which are essential and important to life (i.e. rock cycle) Do (Verbs-from the standards) Know (Nouns-From the standards) b. investigate b. rocks and minerals composition c. c. d. d. e. e. g. g. j. j. My Essential Question: S6E5. Students will investigate the scientific view of how the earth’s surface is formed. a. Compare and contrast the Earth’s crust, mantle, and core including temperature, density, and composition. b. Investigate the contribution of minerals to rock composition. c. Classify rocks by their process of formation. d. Describe processes that change rocks and the surface of the earth. e. Recognize that lithospheric plates constantly move and cause major geological events on the earth’s surface. f. Explain the effects of physical processes (plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, volcanic eruption, gravity) on geological features including oceans (composition, currents, and tides). g. Describe how fossils show evidence of the changing surface and climate of the Earth. h. Describe soil as consisting of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material. i. Explain the effects of human activity on the erosion of the earth’s surface. j. Describe methods for conserving natural resources such as water, soil, and air.
