CURRICULUM
THE EARTH, A CHANGING PLANET
– Describe the basic characteristics of the Milky Way.
DIDACTIC
OBJECTIVES
– Locate the main planets of the Solar System in a drawing, identifying their size and
distance from the Sun.
– Identify and distinguish between the three parts of the Earth.
– Describe the layers that make up the geosphere.
– Understand the tectonic plates that make up the outer surface of the Earth.
– Use pictures to describe the two main types of violent internal geological forces: earthquakes and volcanoes.
– Identify external geological forces that change the Earth’s surface.
– Use pictures to learn the stages of external geological forces: weathering, erosion,
transportation and sedimentation.
– Recognise the difference between rocks and minerals.
– Describe and distinguish between the different types of rocks.
– The Milky Way and the Solar System.
CONTENTS
– Planets in the Solar System: size and distance from the Sun.
– The geosphere and the Earth’s tectonic plates.
– Explain the different parts of the Earth.
– Internal geological forces: volcanoes and earthquakes.
– Analysis and interpretation of a seismograph report.
– Study a map of the main areas of seismic risk in Spain.
– Changes in the Earth’s surface and external geological forces.
– Describe the process of sedimentation.
– Use photos and graphs to analyse the effects of external geological forces on the
Earth’s surface, especially on rocks.
– Rocks and minerals in the Earth’s crust.
– Identify rocks and minerals and distinguish between them.
– Classify different types of rocks.
EVALUATION
CRITERIA
– Check that the students can describe the Milky Way and the Solar System, and identify the main celestial bodies in each.
– Confirm that they can describe and distinguish between the different parts of the Earth.
– Evaluate if they can distinguish between the three layers of the geosphere and describe the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s crust.
– Verify that they know how to describe volcanoes and earthquakes and recognise them
as internal geological forces.
– Confirm that they recognise external geological forces that cause changes in the
Earth’s surface.
– Evaluate if they know how to explain the processes of weathering, erosion, transportation and sedimentation.
– Check if they can distinguish between the three types of rocks and explain what a
mineral is.
