Wichita falls ISD 6th Grade Science Unit Planner Unit [9] Earth Materials Lesson 1: Layers of the Earth Time Frame: 6 Days Objectives Skills: The student will be able to… • Build a model to illustrate the structural layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere. TEKS Supporting: None Other Science Concepts: 6.10A Scientific Process Skills: 6.1A, 6.1B, 6.3B, 6.3C,6.4A, 6.4B ELPS: 1A, 2D, 2F, 3E, 4D-G, 5B Performance Indicators: By the end of the unit the student will be able to… • Create a model of Earth’s layers and describe each layer’s characteristics. Lesson Information Activities Engage: • Listen to STEMscopes Layers of the Earth Science Rocks to introduce concept. (lyrics) • STEMscopes Layers of the Earth Teacher Presentation Demonstration. Explore: • STEMscopes Layers of the Earth Explore Activity in Teacher Guide. o Student Guide o Student Journal Explain: • SWillingham Practical Guide to 6th Grade TEKS : “What’s on the Inside” Activity, Data Page and PowerPoint Explain: • Science Studies Week 11 Our Planet Explain: • STEMscopes Layers of the Earth Progress Monitoring Assessment Evaluate: Wichita Falls ISD (2013-2014) 6Sc Unit 9, Lesson 1 Vocabulary • Inner core- the sphere of solid nickel and iron at the center of Earth; surrounded by the liquid outer core • Outer core- the outer shell of Earth’s core; surrounds the inner core and is made of liquid nickel and iron • Mantle-The solid layer of Earth’s interior that lies above the outer core and is solid yet flows slowly • Crust- the thin solid outermost layer of Earth; made of less dense silicates and is continental(landmasses) or oceanic(ocean bottoms) • Lithosphere- layer of Earth that consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle • Asthenosphere-the solid layer with plasticity in the upper mantle located just below the lithosphere; lithospheric plates “float” and move on this layer • Plasticity- condition of material in the asthenosphere , existing in a solid state yet flowing like a liquid • Model- represents an object or event in the natural world Process Skills TEKS must be incorporated into instruction as appropriate throughout the school year. 1 revised 1/28/14 • STEMscopes Layers of the Earth CLOZE-ing in on Science Evaluate: • STEMscopes Layers of the Earth Guided Practice. Students review concepts as they create a model of Earth’s layers and describe each layer’s characteristics.
