DEPARTMENT:
CLASS/SUBJECT:
6th Grade Science
Science
Standards/Assessment Anchors/Essential Questions/Eligible Content being taught by this week’s lessons:
Standards:
S8.D.1.1.2 Describe natural processes that change Earth’s surface (e.g., landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, mountain building, new land being formed,
weathering, erosion, sedimentation, soil formation)
S3.D.1.3.2 Distinguish between ways that tear down the surface of Earth and those that build up the surface (e.g., erosion, weathering, volcanic activity,
earthquakes).
S3.D.1.3.3 Distinguish between slow and rapid changes to Earth’s surface (i.e., rapid [earthquakes, volcanic activity]; slow [weathering, erosion]).
Anchor: S8.D.1.1 Describe constructive and destructive natural processes that form different geologic structures and resources.
Big Idea: Earthquakes are a natural process that slowly and rapidly change the Earth’s surface.
Essential Question: How Does Stress Affect Earth’s Crust?
MONDAY
Lesson Objectives:
Explain Mr. Alston’s rules
and procedures.
Describe the difference
between being a “boss” and a
“leader”
TUESDAY
Lesson Objectives:
Identify the 8 out of the 12
vocabulary terms from
chapter 2 section 1
Identify the vocabulary term
“Stress” and point out the
three types of “Stress” on the
Earth’s surface
WEDNESDAY
Lesson Objectives:
Explain how Stress (three
types of stress) in the Earth’s
crust change the Earth’s
surface
Identify the landforms that
could be created by the three
types of Stress
THURSDAY
FRIDAY

Identify two out of the three
“Faults”
Lesson Objectives:
Identify the land features that
result from plate movement
Explain the difference
between a hanging wall and a
footwall
Explain the difference
between anticline and
syncline
Describe where faults are
usually found and why they
form
Warm-up:
Students will look at the
picture of a boss and a leader
and explain the similarities
and differences between the
two approaches

Warm-up:
Double sided Journal:
“Record your journal
entry. After recording your
entry, trade your entry with
someone at your
table. Read their entry and
write a brief response.”
Explain the picture. Identify
what process you believe is
taking place. Explain how
the Earth’s surface is
changing.
Journal response is the
following:
