Earth Materials Big Ideas Systems Inquiry Application PS1 Properties ES2 Earth Structures and Processes Complex Systems Planning Investigations Plan different kinds of investigations, including field studies, systematic observations, models, and controlled experiments. Different Technologies Properties of Materials Formation of Earth Materials Focus on Fossils Define technologies and the technological design process to understand the use of technology in different cultures and career fields. The properties of an object depend on its shape and on the material it is made from Earth materials are formed by various natural processes and can be used in different ways. Fossils provide evidence that environments of the past were quite different from what we observe today Analyze a system in terms of subsystems functions as well as inputs and outputs. ES3 Earth History Why Big Ideas: Research shows students learn science by building on a limited number of unifying ideas. In Earth and Physical Science they include: What is everything made of? How does all the variety of earth materials form? What does fossil evidence tell us about the location it was collected? FOSS Standards Investigate Mock Rocks SYSA Systems and Subsystems ES2A Properties Taking Rocks Apart SYSA Systems and Subsystems ES2B Weathering ES2E Soils in Layers Observing Crystals INQB Investigations PS2C Dissolving Observing Minerals INQD Record Data ES2A Physical Properties Testing for Hardness INQC Comparisons ES2A Properties Detecting Calcite INQB Investigations ES2C Erosion Focus Question/ PE Focus: Systems Is it a rock? How do you know? Rocks are made of more than one earth material. What are all the subsystems in this mock rock system? “Mock Minerals” are the subsystems that make up the mock rock system Focus: Properties of Matter Does dissolving earth materials destroy those materials? Dissolved minerals are in solution and can be found by evaporating the water. Focus: Properties of Matter How hard is a rock? Each kind of rock has its own hardness based on what it is made of. Focus: Inquiry How do you know different rocks have different hardness? By comparing to objects that have known a known hardness Focus: Inquiry Is this a controlled experiment? It is a controlled experiment if you change only one variable. Big Idea Question What are rocks made of? Was a rock part of a system when it was formed? Can you destroy matter? What gives earth materials their distinctive properties? What is your evidence for your explanation? How do you find answers to questions you have? Earth Materials Big Ideas FOSS Standards Looking for More Evidence ES3B Fossils and Environments Identifying Minerals in Granite ES2A Physical/chemical Properties Choose Own Investigation APPF Solutions to Problems INQB Investigate INQG Evidence for Explanations Resource Alert To help choose Investigations Mineral Information Institute Focus Question/ PE Focus: Fossils (Earth History) What does the presence of calcite or fossil sea shells tell us about the place they were found? It was once underwater and part of an ocean ecosystem. Focus: Properties of Matter What is granite made of? Granite is made of two minerals, quartz and feldspar. Focus: Application & Inquiry Challenge Research how a rock or mineral meets a need in your everyday life. Then explain how long we can depend on having this resource. The technological design process can be used to research and solve problems. Scientific investigation is a way to gather information. http://www.mii.org/store/teacherpackets/teacher-packet-3everyday-uses-of-minerals http://www.mii.org/store/teacherpackets/natural-resources-we-use Big Idea Question What does fossil evidence tell us about the location the fossil was collected? What are rocks made of? How do scientists and engineers work together to solve problems?
