In The Lab, students will:- Review: Identify each of earth’s four spheres.
- Travel through a series of stations to investigate an event.
- Use evidence to determine which sphere the event impacts.
- Select one sphere to present on.
- Create an infographic to describe how the event impacts at least two spheres.
Standards
- 5-ESS2-1
- Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. [Clarification Statement: Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere. The geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to the interactions of two systems at a time.]
- 5-ESS2-2
- Describe and graph the amounts of salt water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth. [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, ground water, and polar ice caps, and does not include the atmosphere.]
- 5-ESS3-1
- Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.
