Unit 4 Matter and Energy in Organisms and Rock

Unit Storyline: In this Unit, students use examples, diagrams, and chemical equations to demonstrate the conservation of matter and energy. Students analyze the flow of energy and cycling of matter that occur as the food molecules formed by plants and broken down by organism to release energy. They also explore how the flow of energy drives geologic processes, such as the rock cycle. Integrated life and Earth science examples reinforces crosscutting concepts related to matter and energy.

Anchoring Phenomenon: Energy drives fast changes, such as the burning of fuels, slower changes, such as the life activities of animals, and extremely slow changes, such as the building up and erosion of mountains.

Guiding Questions:

• How do rocks and minerals record the flow of energy and cycling of matter in Earth?

• How do we get energy from our food?

• How does the flow of energy drive the cycling of matter in natural systems at different scales?

Unit 5 Earth’s Resources and Ecosystems

Unit Storyline: The changes in Earth’s surface that you learned about in Unit 4 are the basis for your explorations in Unit 5 of evidence for the way the movement of Earth’s plates affects the geosphere. You will combine plate tectonics with explanations from Grade 6 and Grade 7 to describe how natural processes and human activity result in the uneven distribution of natural resources. You will consider how both limited and abundant resources affect organisms and investigate patterns of interactions between individuals and population within ecosystems.

Anchoring Phenomenon: The availability of a natural resource, such as wood, depends not only natural events but also on human activities.

Guiding Questions:

• How can we use patterns in geosphere interactions to predict the location of resources?

• How can we use patterns in ecosystems to predict how organisms compete and share resources?

• How do natural processes and human activities shape Earth’s resources and ecosystems?

Week 5 Overview: Unit 5 Earth’s Resources and Ecosystems

• Lesson 1 The Movement of Earth’s Plates Affects Earth’s Surface

• Lesson 2 Natural Resources Are Distributed Unevenly

Lesson 1 Objective: Students analyze continental data and ocean floor data and model the movement of Earth’s continents to provide for plate tectonics.

Vocabulary: As you find a vocabulary word within the unit, fill in the boxes on p. 317. You should always fill in the definition box, but need not fill in all the other boxes.

Unit 6 Earth’s Surface and Society

Unit Storyline: You will apply what you learned about Earth processes and interactions in ecosystems in Unit 5 to the study of surface processes and natural hazards in Unit 6. You will learn about many types of natural hazards and do in-depth analysis of data about hazards such as earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes. You will also learn about mitigation plans that are designed to prepare for and minimize the damage natural hazards may cause.

Anchoring Phenomenon: Even though hazards caused by natural processes and by human activities can’t always be precisely predicted, humans can find ways to reduce damages and risks associated with each typed of hazards.

Guiding Questions:

• What natural processes and human activities threaten biodiversity and ecosystem services?

• How do natural processes and human activities affect Earth’s surface and society?

Week 8 Overview: Unit 6 Earth’s Surface and Society

• Lesson 1 Geological Processes Change Earth’s Surface pp. 423-443

• Lesson 2 Natural Hazards Disrupt Earth’s Surface
