Unit One: Earth Systems- Beginning with identifying Static and Dynamic systems. Do you know what is a system?
Once we figured out what makes a system, we focused on one of the worst agricultural disasters of all time- The Dust Bowl. If you don't know much about it, ask your 5th grade scientist.
How much of our planet is covered with usable fresh water? Less than 1%. We found this out by measuring the world...with the help of 18 maps.
(starting the week of 9/28) If you were asked to help a town prepare for a hurricane, what would you do? Your engineers were doing just that, deciding which safety precautions to put into place: sea walls, levees, stilts for houses or planting wetlands. What did your child use?
Where would dig a well if you were trying to set up a new homestead? We have been learning about aquifers and how the four spheres of the Earth interact. Can you name the four sphere?
geosphere (land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), biosphere (all living things)
It's time to finish our first unit- Earth Systems. 10/19, 20 & 21- Completing our study guides.
