Science
Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will introduce the concepts of Weathering, Erosion, & Deposition
(Focus on Weathering)
Powerpoints, Photos of Weathering
We will / Objective: We will be able to describe and illustrate the process of weathering and give examples of
weathering in our community (neighborhood).
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to describe the process of weathering and site examples of weathering
in my community.
POP: Thinking Map – Circle Map (landforms) ; flip book (weathering)
Academic Language: Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, Landforms, Sediment, Delta
Assessment: Cause and Effect Thinking Map in Notebooks; Exit Ticket (Socratic App)
Anticipatory Set/Hook: Same as yesterday but teacher will focus on erosion
We will / Objective: We will be able to describe the process of erosion and give examples of erosion in our
community (neighborhood)
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to describe and illustrate the process of erosion and site examples of
erosion that I have seen in my community.
POP: Thinking Map – Cause and Effect (erosion); add erosion to flip book
Academic Language: SAME AS YESTERDAY
Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will guide students through activities that model weathering and
erosion by the agents of wind, water, and ice.
We will / Objective: We will be able to identify the agents of weathering and erosion and analyze the
impact on the Earth’s surface.
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to identify the agents of weathering and erosion and make inferences
about how these agents will impact the Earth’s surface in the future.
POP: Thinking Map: Cause & Effect of Wind, Water, and Ice on the Earth’s surface
Academic Language: Wind Erosion (sand dunes), Water Erosion (waves/beaches), Ice Erosion, Glaciers
Sediment, Delta
Assessment: Teacher Observation during lab investigations, Notebook entries (Thinking Map and lab
entries); exit ticket (index card)
Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will introduce the term “deposition” to students.
We will / Objective: We will be able to describe and illustrate what the term “deposition” means.
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to illustrate (delta) and describe the term “deposition” and the
changes it creates to Earth’s surface.
POP: Flip Book – complete with (deposition); Triple Venn Diagram distinguishing between weathering,
erosion, and deposition
Academic Language: SAME AS MONDAY – emphasis on deltas (Mississippi River Delta)
Assessment: Flip Book and Triple Venn Diagram
Anticipatory Set/Hook: The teacher will guide students through activities that model deposition of
Sediment (deltas)
We will / Objective: We will be able to describe the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition
by wind, water, and ice (and plants) have SLOWLY caused changes to the Earth’s surface and will
continue to do so.
I will /Product/Task: I will be able to describe the process of weathering, erosion, and deposition by the
agents of wind, water, and ice and how these processes SLOWLY change the surface of the Earth over time.
POP: Thinking Map – Cause and Effect
Academic Language: Same as Monday
Assessment: Cause and Effect Thinking Map; Socratic App (Exit Ticket) – Questions over weathering,
erosion, and deposition by wind, water, and ice.
