Proposed Dates: 01/03/2017-01/19/2017
Grade Level: 7th Grade
Building: McAdoo-Kelayres Elementary Middle School
Unit Plan
Unit Title: Volcanoes
Essential Questions: Where are Earth’s volcanic regions located and why are they found in those areas?
How are hot spot volcanoes formed?
What are the physical and chemical properties of matter?
Why do some fluids flow more easily than others?
What factors determine the viscosity of magma?
What happens when a volcano erupts?
What are the two types of volcanic eruptions?
What types of landforms created by lava, ash, and magma hardening beneath the earth’s surface?
Standards: MS. ESS2.2-Explain with evidence for how process have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales
MS. ESS2.3-Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor, to provide evidence of plate movement
MS. ESS2. 1-Create a model to describe the cycling of Earth’s materials and the flow of energy that drives the process
MS. ESS3. 2-Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate
their effects
Additional Standards: Describe and define the different landforms on the Earth’s surface, such as coastlines, rivers, mountains, deltas, etc.
Identify connections between fossil evidence and geological events, such as changes in atmospheric composition, movement of tectonic plates, and
asteroid/comet impact, and develop a means of sequencing this evidence
The earth and earth materials, as we know them today, have developed over long periods of time, through constant change processes
Summative Unit Assessment:
