Lesson: Landforms and Oceans Grade Level: Five Content Area: Earth Science Core Area: Changes in Landforms and Oceans Lesson Overview: Teachers will participate in a deep-sea mapping expedition as they use depth probes to make inferences about the landforms in a large, 3D Ocean Landforms Puzzle. They will compare continental landforms with oceanic landforms using a variety of models. Images, videos and models will be used to spark discussion of the ways that natural processes impact both oceanic and continental landforms. 2005 Standards Correlation: Grade 5 Landforms and Oceans Standard 5-3: The student will demonstrate an understanding of features, processes, and changes in Earth’s land and oceans. (Earth Science) Indicators: 5-3.1 Explain how natural processes (including weathering, erosion, deposition, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods) affect Earth’s oceans and land in constructive and destructive ways. 5-3.2 Illustrate the geologic landforms of the ocean floor (including the continental shelf and slope, the mid-ocean ridge, rift zone, trench, and the ocean basin). 5-3.3 Compare continental and oceanic landforms. 2014 Standards Correlation: Grade Four Earth Science: Changes in Landforms and Oceans Standard 5.E.3: The student will demonstrate an understanding of how natural processes and human activities affect the features of Earth’s landforms and oceans. 5.E.3A. Conceptual Understanding: Some of the land on Earth is located above water and some is located below the oceans. The downhill movement of water as it flows to the ocean shapes the appearance of the land. There are patterns in the location and structure of landforms found on the continents and those found on the ocean floor. Performance Indicators: Students who demonstrate this understanding can: 5.E.3A.1 Construct explanations of how different landforms and surface features result from the location and movement of water on Earth’s surface through watersheds (drainage basins) and rivers.

Conceptual Understanding: Earth’s oceans and landforms can be affected by natural processes in various ways. Humans cannot eliminate natural hazards caused by these processes but can take steps to reduce their impacts. Human activities can affect the land and oceans in positive and negative ways. Performance Indicators: Students who demonstrate this understanding can: 5.E.3B.1 Analyze and interpret data to describe and predict how natural processes (such as weathering, erosion, deposition, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, or storms) affect Earth’s surface. Materials: 2 sets of landform labels listed below: (made from sentence strips or cardstock) 1) Continental Shelf 2) Continental Slope 3) Abyssal Plain 4) Mid-Ocean Ridge 5) Rift zone 6) Seamount 7) Trench 8) Coastal Plain 9) Slope 10) Mountain Range 11) Plain 12) Valley 13) Canyon 14) Volcano Pocket chart Model of oceanic landforms large enough to put labels on but small enough to carry Large 3D scale model of a portion of the world that includes all landforms noted above Landforms and Oceans PowerPoint presentation with embedded movies “Sounding poles” made from skewers with pointy tips removed World map Globe Softball or baseball Large sample of basalt Resources for Teachers: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/ This is the Education section of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Lots of good material here! Investigate undersea landforms using Google Earth. It has the ability to let you go below sea level and travel through trenches, over ridges, and along the continental shelf. http://joidesresolution.org/ The Joides Resolution is a seagoing research vessel that drills core samples and collects measurements from under the ocean floor, giving scientists a glimpse into Earth’s development. The site includes a variety of resources for teachers and students.

Students each get a landform label to describe and place on the model or in the pocket chart. Engage • All use hands and arms to model landforms as they are discussed and labeled. • Use world map to review geography, terms, units, use of a color-coded scale to find landforms on map. • Softball= model of Earth, stitching = mid-ocean ridge Explore Survey the sea floor in the large ocean model. Students plan and conduct the investigation. Provide sounding poles & guidance and monitor time. Predict where landforms are based on pattern of sticks. Remove and collect sticks; remove lids to see inside. Were predictions correct? Explain • Constructive and destructive forces in land formation • Divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries • Model scale and exaggeration in the large ocean model [Horizontal Scale: 1 in. =30 mi., Vertical Scale: 1 in.=2500 ft. or ½ mi., Vertical Exaggeration 60:1] • Reasons for modeling selected region of ocean Elaborate • What region of the world does the model represent? • Show slides with map of region and images of area. • Discuss continental landforms in the model, how they formed, and evidence in the model that connects continental landforms to oceanic landforms. • Ask and discuss: Why do we need to know about landforms in the ocean? Evaluate • Students create and label their own 3D seafloor model • Students draw and label a diagram of the seafloor • Students draw & explain 3 types of plate boundaries Extend Slide 30 – Ring of Fire and locations of trenches Slide 31 – SONAR defined and illustrated Slide 32 – 2 subs touched bottom of Mariana Trench Slide 33 – Video: Long Way Down (to Challenger Deep) and link to documentary on James Cameron’s dive to Challenger Deep in March 2012 Copyright © 2015 by the Board of Trustees of the University of South Carolina SEPs CrossCut Page 3 of 3
