As an addition to the schoolyard geology activities that were shared in Matt Nyman’s session during the Winter 2014 SMILE Teacher’s Workshop, here is a 4-lesson unit on Earth Science that can be done in the classroom.
This lesson explores Earth, and it’s layers. Students will be able to construct their own mini Earths according to different layers.
Students will be able to explore the plates and their boundaries of the Earth. This lesson serves to explain how earthquakes and volcanoes come to be.
This lesson explores earthquakes, how they happen, and how to stay safe.
