Castle Point on Hudson Hoboken, NJ 07030 (201) 216 5000 1 Sharon Peters Michael Wells 1. http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/ Standards2 As a result of the activities, all students should develop an understanding of the structure of the earth's system. earth's history. evolution and equilibrium. change, constancy and measurement. 2.http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/curriculumstandards.shtml Benchmarks Real-Time Data (6.5 Measurement) Time Zones (6.5 Measurement, 6.1 Number Sense) (Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) History and Why we use them Cartesian Plane (6.3 Data) Cartesian Plane (data plotting and reading graphs) Reading Maps (6.4 Geometry, 6.3 Data) Velocity (6.2 Algebra, 6.6 Computation) Rounding (6.1 Number Sense) Topic Relevance It is good to learn these skills because geologists and other scientists use them to obtain more information and knowledge about the earth, what it does and will do. Changes in the earth are not only relevant they are important because they affect all life on earth, including YOU! Prior Knowledge Using a ruler to measure length in [cm] Ranges i.e. 1-10,11-20,21-30… Map Legends Rounding Reading a map and approximation of distance Some beginning knowledge of plotting data on a map or other coordinate system Vocabulary Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Real Time Data Seismic Plate tectonics Velocity Epicenter Magnitude Depth Cartesian coordinate system Latitude Longitude (this list will certainly grow) Lesson Outline 3 Preliminary Activity: The President Wants YOU! Students should begin here FIRST before moving on to the Core Lessons. Lesson 1: Plot Current Earthquake Data In this lesson students will access USGS earthquake information and plot the locations on a world map. Lesson 2: Look for Patterns Students will compare the map they created in Lesson One to a map showing tectonic plates and look for a relationship. Lesson 3: Where will you be in a million years? Students will access information about the motion (speed and direction) of the Earth's tectonic plates and make predictions. Lesson 4: How do volcanoes fit in the picture? Students will plot recent volcanic activity on a world map and look for relationships between volcanoes and plate boundaries. 3.http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/teacherlessons.shtml Preliminary Activity Objectives4 Students will: Develop a hypothesis and a plan to test their hypothesis Use language to clarify observations and to summarize information. Convey information to others in written form. 4. http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/teacherstory.shtml Lesson 1 Objectives5 Students will: Access and interpret online data information. (real-time data) Plot the longitude and latitude of an earthquake on a map. Make generalizations about a particular region’s likelihood of having an earthquake based upon its location. 5. http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/teacherlesson1.shtml Lesson 2 Objectives6 Students will: Draw conclusions and find patterns in collected data Deduce a cause/effect relationship from given data. Determine how plate movements relate to earthquake activity http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/teacherlesson2.shtml Lesson 3 Objectives7 Students will: Locate stations on the Global Velocities map Interpret the information on Global Velocities map Determine the speed at which the locations are moving Draw conclusions and identify a trend from collected data 7. http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/teacherlesson3.shtml Velocity x Time = Distance Lesson 4 Objectives8 Students will: Analyze data for meaning Draw conclusions based on observations Volcanic activity is linked to plate-tectonic processes. The majority of volcanic eruptions occur along plate boundaries such as the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. The majority of earthquakes coincide with regions where there are active volcanoes particularly near continental coasts and mountain systems. 8. http://www.ciese.org/curriculum/musicalplates3/en/teacherlesson4.shtml
