Hey everyone it is time for Through Time and Space Thursday
and this week we are going to focus on Earth Science. What kind of Earth
Science topics do your students have to learn? Earth Science is a hard concept
for many students to understand. It is a hard to think about the planet we live
on and all the things inside it and all the things happening on it.
When my 5th grade students had to learn many
Earth Science topics last year we decided to create centers for the students to
learn these concepts with a hands-on approach. We also wanted students to make
a PowerPoint presentation of the concepts they were learning to present to the
class at the end of the unit. These centers covered topics like earthquakes,
volcanoes, erosion, weathering, constructive and deconstructive processes, sand
dunes, and deltas. It was a two week long unit. It was not an easy task to pull
off but we had the 3 teachers in the room at the time. It was really a great
unit and the students enjoyed learning about Earth science.
For more information about our Earth Science centers take a
look at our Earth Science Packet at our TpT store. (Coming soon...we'll update this post as soon as it's posted!)
