Subject: 6th Science
Volcanoes
Lesson Plan subject to change due to needs of students.
Classroom News/Due Dates:

Unit Test Thursday (Plate Tectonics and Volcanoes)
Standards:
6.4a Compare and contrast the relative positions and components of the Earth’s crust (e.g., mantle, liquid and solid core, continental
crust, oceanic crust).
8.4a Compare and contrast the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
a. Composition, density, and location of continental crust and oceanic crust
b. Physical nature of the lithosphere (brittle and rigid) with the asthenosphere (plastic and flowing)
c. How the lithosphere responds to tectonic forces (faulting and folding)
7.4a Justify the importance of Earth materials (e.g., rocks, minerals, atmospheric gases, water) to humans.
6.4b Explain and draw conclusions about the causes and effects of historical processes that contributed to the shaping of planet Earth.
a. Movements of the continents through time
b. Continental plates, subduction zones, trenches, etc.
c. Explain the causes and effects of historical processes shaping the planet Earth
8.4b Describe the cause and effect relationship between the composition of and movement within the Earth’s lithosphere.
a. Seismic wave velocities of earthquakes and volcanoes to lithospheric plate boundaries using seismic data
b. Volcanoes formed at mid‐ocean ridges, within intra‐plate regions, at island arcs, and along some continental
edges
c. Modern distribution of continents to the movement of lithospheric plates since the formation of Pangaea
