Central Idea: Our world changes over time
- change can occur quickly or slowly
- consequences of change
-
- evidence of change
Through several hands-on, inquiry based lessons, students discover many ways our earth changes. They explore which changes occur over long periods of time and which are very rapid. Students also note evidence of each change they are observing. Students also watch videos of some of these changes and explore a large variety of books they select on those that interest them most. The culminating activity is to create a digital poster replicating a before and after image of a natural disaster/earth change showing evidence of the change and explaining the changes that occurred.
