1 6E Lesson Plan Template Author: Tiffany Chen Date: Day 2 October 17 th 2013 Topic: Earths Structure Title: Earth Model Grade Level: 6 th grade Lesson Summary: Students will learn about the earth s layers and make a model. They will explore the layers of earth through an interactive board where they can test their knowledge. Then they will do an activity where they make a 3D model of the earth s layers with a half of a foam ball. Students will color code each layer. They will also look into what the each layer is composed up and its thickness. Arkansas Science Frameworks SLEs: (list # and text of each SLE) ESS Identify and diagram the layers of the Earth: crust mantle inner and outer core ESS Model the layers of the Earth ESS Model how convection currents in the mantle affect lithosphere movement ESS Diagram and explain how volcanoes work Main SLE covered in this activity: ESS Model the layers of the Earth Objectives: The learner will: 1 Students will be able to model the Earths layers Essential Question: What do the Earths Layers look like when the Earth is cut in to half s BACKGROUND INFORMATION Timeline: (about how many class periods, or minutes this lesson takes) 1 class period 50 minutes Materials: (what and how many of each are needed) Half circle for each student Handout Markers gesso Teacher Preparation: Teacher will paint the half circle with gesso. I will have all materials ready and have a bigger diagram
2 available for them to see how the project looks Student Prerequisites: Students have learned that there are layers of earth and the order.
3 PROCEDURE Engage: I will show the class the Interactive board. They can test their knowledge by testing it with the board. Explore: Students will get into groups of 3 to 5. They will use the diagram on the worksheet provided. Students will come up with their own color scheme. They will draw the earth s layers on the foam ball with a pen and then color them in with markers. Students will used there models and notes to do a short quiz. Students will help one another figure out the layers from which ones are the thinnest and which ones are the thickest. Students will fill out a worksheet Explain: As a class we will go over the answers. Each group will give and answers to one question and justify it. Elaborate: The class will look at the answers to the more question on a power point. Students will learn about how the convection current looks. Extend: I will ask student about the composition and state of matter of each layer will go in to talking about how the earth is set on plate tectonics Evaluate: Students will be evaluated on their models as well as the quiz. Students models should have the layers in order as well show that the crust is a thin layer and the other 3 are thicker layers. CROSS CURRICULAR CONNECTIONS Math: Students will learn to draw to scale with the four layers of the Earth. The half circles are 3 inches Language Arts: Go over the spelling words: axis, Sea-floor spreading, Transform Boundary, Convergent Boundary, Divergent Boundary, Continental divergent boundaries, Hot Spots, Continental-Continental Collision, Oceanic-Oceanic Subduction Social Studies: Students will learn about the different regions on the earth. Desert, rainforest, ect Other Parental Involvement: Help student learn the layers by looking at their models Technology Connections: laptop Resources: Notes: I painted the half circles with gesso because the markers would wash off if you didn t. Credits: This lesson: _x _is original was adapted from s original lesson.
