Part 1 - Earth Materials

Phenomenon: How do Earth's materials change over time through the cycling of rocks?

• 3.1 Introduction to Minerals + Slides (HS-ESS2-3, HS-PSS1-3)

• 3.2 Mineral Properties + Station Directions + Slides (HS-ESS2-1, HS-PSS1-3)

• Lab 10: Mineral Identification (HS-ESS2-1, HS-PSS1-3)

• 3.3 Modeling the Rock Cycle + Game 1 + Game 2 + Slides (HS-ESS2-1)

• Cluster Questions 3A (available on my Buy Me a Coffee site)

• 3.4 Sedimentary Rocks + Slides (HS-ESS2-1, HS-ESS2-2)

• 3.5 Minerals, Ores, and Gems Project (optional) (HS-ESS2-1, HS-ESS3-2, HS-PS1-3) - Works well as a sub plan, as it is entirely student-driven

• Lab 11: Drilling in the ANWF + Printable Copies of the Readings (HS-ESS3-2)

Part 2 - The Effect of Water

Phenomenon: How do Earth's materials change over time through the forces of weathering and erosion?

• 3.6 Weathering + Slides (HS-ESS2-1, HS-ESS2-2, HS-ESS2-5)

• Lab 12: Weathering Stations + Directions (HS-ESS2-2, HS-ESS2-5)

• 3.7 Erosion + Slides (HS-ESS2-2, HS-ESS3-1)

• Lab 13: Sediment Deposition

•  3.8 The Water Cycle (Flux) + Slides (HS-ESS2-2, HS-ESS2-1)

  • Old version: 3.8 The Water Cycle (Mekong Delta) + Mekong Delta Evidence + Slides (HS-ESS2-2, HS-ESS3-1) - I thought the Mekong Delta Feedbacks would fit better later in the unit, so I moved them to 3.10.

• 3.9 Soils + Slides (HS-ESS2-5, HS-ESS2-2)

• Lab 14: Soil Water Movement

• 3.10 Stream Features + Slides + Mekong Delta Evidence (HS-ESS2-5, HS-ESS2-2)

  • Old version: 3.10 Stream Features (Practice Qs)  + Slides (HS-ESS2-5, HS-ESS2-2)

• Lab 15: Stream Table

• Cluster Questions 3B (available on my Buy Me a Coffee site)

• 3.Z Ripple Effect Brainstorming

• State Lab: The Ripple Effect Investigation

Other:

• Fossils

• Rock ID Lab
