notes

1. Do Now:
What is Earth?

2. I Can learn what the
resources of Earth is
and how it occurs.

3. Lesson 1- Earth and
Human Activity

4. • Land
• Water
• Air

5. - Humans are using the Earth natural resources by
using soil and water to grow food, wood to burn to
provide heat or to build shelters.
- Amount of resources of the Earth Humans have used:
1.6 Earths, half the amount than we should be using.
Which is why it takes a whole year for the Earth to get
more.

6. What is a Natural Resource?
- Materials or substances that are found in
nature that are useful or valuable.

7. Here are some ways to improve!
1. Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Cut down on what you throw away.
2. Volunteer for cleanups in your community.
3. Educate
4. Conserve water.
5. Shop wisely
6. Plant a Tree

8. Lesson 2-
Earth’s Systems

9. I can learn about
Weathering and
Erosion!

10. Earth system- systems
of science that goes
to weathering and
energy.

11. Rainfall helps to shape the land and
affects the types of living things
found in a region. Water, ice, wind,
living organisms, and gravity break
rocks, soils, and sediments into
smaller particles and move them
around.

12. Weathering is the process by which
rocks are broken into smaller
materials; Erosion is the process by
which those materials are moved from
place to place.

13. Lesson 3-
Earth’s place in the
universe

14. I can predict some
details or facts about
planet Earth!

15. History- formed at roughly the same time
as the sun and other planets some 4.6
billion years ago when the solar system
coalesced from a giant, rotating cloud of
gas and dust known as the solar nebula.

16. Formation- Local, regional, and global
patterns of rock formations reveal
changes over time due to earth forces,
such as earthquakes. The presence and
location of certain fossil types indicate the
order in which rock layers were formed.

17. Lesson 4-
Plate Tectonics
Theory

18. I can create
observations of how
rocks formed!

19. Theory explaining the structure
of the earth's crust and many
associated phenomena as
resulting from the interaction of
rigid lithospheric plates which
move slowly over the underlying
mantle.

20. The locations of mountain ranges,
deep ocean trenches, ocean floor
structures, earthquakes, and
volcanoes occur in patterns. Most
earthquakes and volcanoes occur in
bands that are often along the
boundaries between continents and
oceans. Major mountain chains form
inside continents or near their
edges. Maps can help locate the
different land and water features

21. Lesson 5-
Natural Hazards

22. I can identify the
natural hazards and
things to prevent.

23. Natural Hazards:
Negative effect on humans
and other animals, or the
environment.

24. A variety of hazards result
from natural processes
(earthquakes, tsunamis,
volcanic eruptions). Humans
cannot eliminate the hazards
but can take steps to reduce
their impacts.
