Introduction

• The MST Inquiry Unit will develop a strong foundation on Earth’s Changing Surface. Students will acquire knowledge on the Rock Cycle, Erosion, Earthquakes, as well as Volcanoes. These hands on experiences will allow students to have a comprehension of the unique parts of the Earth.

Outline of Unit: Holistic Web

Rock Cycle: Rock N’ Roll

• Bloom’s Taxonomy: Knowledge

• Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence: Visual and Verbal/Linguistic

• Technology: Web Filamentality

Rock N’ Roll

• What is a rock?

• How does the rock cycle change the earth’s surface?

• What are the factors of the rock cycle?

Classification of Rocks: Oh, Where Does My Rock Belong?

• Bloom’s Taxonomy: Comprehension

• Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence: Naturalist and Logical-Mathematical

• Pet Manipulative: Grouping of Rocks

Oh, Where Does My Rock Belong?• What are the different

types of rocks?

• How do we classify these rocks?

• Where can we find these different types of rocks?

Erosion: What types do we have?

• Bloom’s Taxonomy: Application

• Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence: Verbal/Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical

• Experiment on Types of Erosion

A rock is… The rock cycle changes the earth’s surface. The factors of the rock cycle

What is erosion? How many types of erosions do exist?

Erosion is the process by which the surface of the Earth gets worn down.Five types of erosion exist.

Different types of rocksClassification of rocksArea in which we find these different types of rocks

What kind of erosions can we experience?What does erosion affect in the environment?

Wind, water, and chemical erosions.Air quality, plant growth and water quality.

Experiment: Types of Erosion
