2 Unit 1- Histry f the Earth Duratin- 13 weeks Standards Transfer Gals Cncepts Critical Knwledge and Skills Essential Questins Understandings SCI.HS-ESS1-5 Evaluate evidence f the past and current mvements f cntinental and ceanic crust and the thery f plate tectnics t explain the ages f crustal rcks. SCI.HS-LS4-5 Evaluate the evidence supprting claims that changes in envirnmental cnditins may result in: (1) increases in the number f individuals f sme species, (2) the emergence f new species ver time, and (3) the extinctin f ther species. HS-PS1-8 Develp mdels t illustrate the changes in the cmpsitin f the nucleus f the atm and the energy released during the prcesses f fissin, fusin, and radiactive decay. HS-ESS1-3 Cmmunicate scientific ideas abut the way stars, ver their life cycle, prduce elements. HS-ESS1-1 Develp a mdel based n evidence t illustrate the life span f the sun and the rle f nuclear fusin in the sun s cre Explain that earth perates as a set f cmplex, dynamic, and intercnnected systems, and is a part f the allencmpassing system f the universe. Realize that the thery f plate tectnics prvides a framewrk fr understanding the dynamic prcesses within and n the Earth. Students shuld knw that heat generated frm within the earth create cnvectin currents that mve the plates acrss the glbe; many peple in the wrld are affected by the earth s frces, but these frces are necessary fr life Hw can chemical prperties be used t help identify varius frms f matter? Hw des prir knwledge r miscnceptins affect the creatin f a hypthesis Hw d gelgic changes in the past help us t predict the future? Hw d peple recnstruct and date events in Earth s planetary histry? What evidence can be used t shw bth gelgical and atmspheric changes ver the earth's billin years f histry? Hw is life n Earth cnnected t the rest f the universe? Heavier elements cme frm the larger star explsins. As distance increases frm the mid cean ridge, the age f rck als increases. Cnvectin currents in the upper mantle drive plate mtin. Earth's divisins in time are based n majr bilgical and gelgical changes. Evidence frm lava flws and cean flr rcks shw that the Earth's magnetic field reverses (Nrth-Suth) ver gelgic time. Hw decay and half-life wrk t enable radimetric dating. Knwledge: Skills: The ability f plate tectnics t explain ages f crustal rcks Age f the Earth The Big Bang Thery The life cycle f the star The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram The electrmagnetic spectrum Emphasis is n determining cause and effect relatinships fr hw changes t the envirnment such as defrestatin, fishing, applicatin f fertilizers, drught, fld, and the rate f change f the envirnment Gescience factrs cntrl the evlutin f life (ex. phtsynthetic life altered the atmsphere, weathering rates allw fr the evlutin f life, micrbial life n land increased the frmatin f sil, etc.) Frmatin f the Earth and Slar System Histry f the Earth Impact cratering Radimetric dating f mn rcks, minerals, and meterites Seaflr spreading Size and cmpsitin f slar system bjects The appearance f land features are the result f cnstructive frces (ex.
