Unit One: Earth Systems- Beginning with identifying Static and Dynamic systems.
To introduce the idea of Earth sized systems, we began by focusing on the Dust Bowl and how all the systems of Earth intertwined to create a catastrophe (Geosphere, Biosphere, Atmosphere & Hydrosphere)
At the start of the week (9/22), we began our first Mystery Science lesson: How much water is there on Earth? Students practiced reading and using surface area maps to answer that question.
