Geology: The Earth and Its Changes Fourth Grade Thinking Frame Work Key: K=Knowledge, P=Patterns, M=Modeling, C= Creativity Vocabulary: geology, plates, fault, intensity, seismography, Richter Scale, Tsunamis, active, dormant, extinct, geyser, theory, formation, metamorphic, sediment, physical, chemical, weathering, erosion, & soil I. Content and Standards Geology Core Knowledge® Content Grade 4 Science Colorado Grade Level Expectations & Evidence Outcomes Grade 4 - Science Physical Science, Life Science, Earth Systems Science The Earth’s Layers Crust, mantle, core (outer core and inner core) Science 6.3.1.a: Gather, analyze, and communicate an evidence-based explanation for the complex interaction between Earth’s constructive and destructive forces Movement of crustal plates Science 5.3.2.a: Analyze and interpret data identifying ways Earth’s surface is constantly changing through a variety of processes and forces such as plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, solar influences, climate, and human activity - Earthquakes Faults, San Andreas fault Measuring intensity: seismograph and Richter scale Tsunamis - Volcanoes: Science 7.3.1.c: Use maps to locate likely geologic “hot spots”, using evidence of earthquakes and volcanic activity Science 7.3.1.c: Use maps to locate likely geologic “hot spots”, using evidence of earthquakes and volcanic activity Magma Lava and lava flow Active, dormant, or extinct Famous volcanoes: Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Mount St. Helens National Park) Hot springs and geysers: Old Faithful (in Yellowstone Science 5.3.2.a: Analyze and interpret data identifying ways Earth’s surface is constantly changing through a variety of processes and forces such as plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, solar influences, climate, and human activity - Theories of how the continents and oceans were Science 7.3.1.b: Identify, interpret, and explain models of plates motions on Earth formed: Pangaea and continental drift How Mountains Are Formed - Volcanic mountains, folded mountains, fault-block Science 7.3.1.a: Gather, analyze, and communicate data that explains Earth’s plates, plate motions, and the results of plate motions mountains, dome-shaped mountains - Undersea mountain peaks and trenches (Mariana - Formation and characteristics of metamorphic, Science 7.3.1.a: Gather, analyze, and communicate data that explains Earth’s plates, plate motions, and the results of plate motions Trench) Rocks Science 3.3.1.c: Utilize a variety of media sources to collect and analyze data around Earth’s materials and the processes by which they are formed igneous, and sedimentary rock Weathering and Erosion - - - Physical and chemical weathering Science 3.3.1.b: Use evidence to develop a scientific explanation about one or more process that break down and/or combine Earth’s materials Weathering and erosion by water, wind, and glaciers Science 3.3.1.b: Use evidence to develop a scientific explanation about one or more process that break down and/or combine Earth’s materials The formation of soil: topsoil, subsoil, bedrock Science 3.3.1.a: Investigate and identify two or more ways that Earth’s materials can be broken down and/or combined in different ways such as minerals into rocks, rock cycle, formation of soil, and sand II. Character Education A. Responsibility 1. using Play dough in a carpeted room for mountain formation lab 2. taking care of the rock kits for the rock lab B. Cooperation 1. working together patiently during lab time C. Self Control 1. maintaining self control during lab time D. Citizenship 1. taking care of the rock kits so others can use them III. Science Habits of Mind SCIENCE HABITS OF MIND THIRD THROUGH FIFTH GRADE I. VALUES AND ATTITUDES By the end of fifth grade, students should: A. Keep records of their investigations and observations and not change the records later. B. Offer reasons for their findings and consider reasons suggested by others. II. CRITICAL-RESPONSE SKILLS By the end of fifth grade, students should: A. Buttress their statements with facts found in books, articles, and databases, and identify the sources used and expect others to do the same. B. Recognize when comparisons might not be fair because some conditions are not kept the same. C. Seek better reasons for believing something than “Everybody knows that…” or “I just know” and discount such reasons when given by others.
