Get your students moving and grooving as they explore the dynamic processes that shape our planet with this Earth changes sorting activity!

What's Included?

• Instructions
• Title Cards: labeled "Weathering," "Erosion," and "Deposition."
• Statement Cards: Description cards that detail various Earth changes, each corresponding to one of the three processes (weathering, erosion, or deposition). These cards come in the correct order, acting as an answer key for teachers.
• Winners' Certificates: Fun and motivational certificates you can award to students or teams who successfully sort the statements correctly.

How to Play?

1. Preparation: Print out the instruction sheet, title cards, and statement cards. Cut out all the cards neatly.
2. Setting the Stage: On a bulletin board or wall, display the title cards ("Weathering," "Erosion," "Deposition") with enough space in between for students to sort the statement cards.
3. Sorting Challenge: Divide students into groups (optional) or have them work individually. Distribute the statement cards face down. Students will shuffle or draw cards and then carefully read each statement aloud, trying to determine which process (weathering, erosion, or deposition) it describes.
4. Checking and Celebrating: Once all the statements are sorted, use the answer key (statement cards in the correct order) to review the placements. Celebrate the students' understanding and teamwork (if applicable).

o The learner will determine the types of boundaries that lie within the Ring of Fire

MATERIAL NEEDED:
o Copies of Ring of Fire lyrics, Johnny Cash version, written by June Carter Cash (Included)

o Technology to play the song as learners follow along with the lyrics. (Find the song on Youtube or Spotify)

o Demonstrations: Graham crackers, peanut butter, a plate, and something with which to spread the peanut butter (or substitute icing or anything creamy) (5) bowl of water (If you want you can have students take part in the demonstration, provide enough for learners to work in groups.)

o Tectonic Plate Puzzle (Included)

o Map to display the Ring of Fire (Included)

o Ring of Fire Tracking Map to identify seismic activity along the Ring of Fire. (Included)

o Technology for the learner to use to track seismic activity during the last 12 months —suggested site USGS.org

This is an activity to do during or after watching the Lorax! This is to go along with a science lesson about the process of photosynthesis, the parts of a plant, and the connection the movie has to photosynthesis.

Students will be putting together and labeling the process of photosynthesis and the parts of a plant. Then they will also describe how The Lorax Movie connects to the process of photosynthesis.

You can pace these activities in multiple ways but I would recommend having the students do the photosynthesis and parts of a plant activity before watching the movie. Then after they have watched the movie, have them complete the connect activity. But you can do it in many different ways.

This activity takes very little prep. Each student will need a copy of each sheet (they are labeled) and scissors, glue sticks/tape, colored pencils, and normal pencils. You could even have students work in groups!

This would be a great product to introduce and/or review photosynthesis and the parts of a plant. You could even use it as an assessment!

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

Je me sentais généralement insatisfaite du matériel et des ressources disponibles que je trouvais en ligne et dans mon école. Je trouvais que la plupart des affaires étaient axées sur le vocabulaire et moins sur la compréhension et l'application. Bref, elles étaient poches et ennuyantes. Mes produits sont engageants et à leur niveau!

J'ai créé un paquet avec chaque élément dont vous avez besoin pour enseigner la science en 6e année à vos élèves en immersion. Chaque unité est complet avec du contenu, des activités, des jeux, des documents, des projets intégrés et des recherches très attrayants. Ils peuvent facilement être laissés à un suppléant et ont été créés à l'origine pour que mes élèves travaillent de manière indépendante afin que je puisse travailler avec de petits groupes.

* Des centaines * de pages de contenu vous feront économiser d'innombrables heures de préparation, de création et de recherche. Vous économiserez également de l'argent en les achetant en lot!

Vous aimez ce que vous voyez mais voulez en voir plus? Envoyez-moi un message pour demander des cours et des activités spécifiques et abonnez-vous à ma boutique pour rester informé!

Prenez soin les uns des autres et AMUSEZ-VOUS!
