AHMS Science Lesson Plan 6th grade Science TEACHER(S) PERIOD(S) Brooks/Rodriguez 1; 3-7 LEARNING OBJECTIVE SWBAT: build a model to illustrate the compositional and mechanical layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere. MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY DATE(S) 2/26 - 3/1 TEKS/ S.E. SCI. 6.10A Build a model to illustrate the compositional and mechanical layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere. DO NOW (Engage): A mineralogist finds a mineral that leaves a streak with a metallic luster. What additional property would the mineralogist likely investigate to further identify the mineral? AGENDA (Explore): 1. Key Vocabulary Activity 2. Think-Pair-Share: Journey to Earth’s Core 3. Layers of the Earth Video 4. Video: Think-Pair-Share CFU: (Explain): Think-Pair-Share Questions: What are the layers of the Earth? What is the Earth made up of? Are all parts of the Earth the same? Video: think-Pair-Share - What are the four main layers of the earth? The outermost layer of the Earth is _____. Describe the asthenosphere? What is it made of? DOL (Evaluate): Given a set of 5 questions, students build a model to illustrate the compositional and mechanical layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere by answering at least 4 out of 5 with 80% accuracy. DO NOW (Engage): Identify the layers of the Earth from closest to the center to the surface. AGENDA: (Explore): 1. Review Questions 2. Activity: Label the Earth 3. Student Choice Model CFU: (Explain): Which of the following is the correct order of the compositional layers of the Earth from the innermost to the outermost layer? Which layer of the Earth is the thinnest and consists of solid rock? Which layer of the Earth is composed of hot, semi-solid rock and is located below the lithosphere? Earth Model: Students will create a student choice model of the structure of the earth. DOL: (Evaluate): Given a set of 5 questions, students build a model to illustrate the compositional and mechanical layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere by answering at least 4 out of 5 with 80% accuracy. DO NOW (Engage): T/F The Earth’s mantle is the earth’s largest layer? AGENDA: (Explore): 1. Video: What is under your feet? 2. Ink-Pair-Share 3. Complete Student Choice Model CFU: (Explain): Video Questions: Students will watch the video to learn about the differences in thickness, temperature, and pressure at each layer of the Earth and review content learned about the mechanical layers of Earth. Ink-Pair-Share: Compare the thickness, temperature, and pressure at each layer of the Earth. Earth Model: Students will create a student choice model of the structure of the earth. DOL: (Evaluate): Given a set of 5 questions, students build a model to illustrate the compositional and mechanical layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere by answering at least 4 out of 5 with 80% accuracy. DO NOW (Engage): Begin Rough Draft: (Introductions) Layers of the Earth. Imaginary journey to the center of the Earth. Explaining each layer of the earth. Name the layer and describe the material it is made of. Describe temperature and pressure change as you travel through each layer. AGENDA: (Explore): 1. Gallery walk of Student Choice Model 2. Check for understanding. CFU: (Explain): Which layer is characterized by extremely high temperatures and pressure, causing materials to be in a solid state? Which layer of the Earth is primarily composed of solid rock and includes the continents and ocean floor? The movement of molten iron and nickel in which layer is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field? Which layer of the Earth's model is semi-fluid and responsible for the movement of tectonic plates? DOL: (Evaluate): Given a set of 5 questions, students build a model to illustrate the compositional and mechanical layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere by answering at least 4 out of 5 with 80% accuracy. VOCABULARY/ EQUATIONS: REVIEW: Luster Color Minerals Streak Hardness New: Core Mantle Asthenosphere Lithosphere Oceanic Crust AHMS Science Lesson Plan FRIDAY DO NOW (Engage): Word Wall: Label the layers of the earth. AGENDA (Explore): 1. Complete Rough Draft 2. Revise and Edit Essay 3. Introduce layers of the Earth Project (3-D). CFU: (Explain): Imaginary journey to the center of the Earth. Explaining each layer of the earth. Name the layer and describe the material it is made of. Describe temperature and pressure change as you travel through each layer. Revise and edit essay for Project.
