Description
~20-30 40 TO 50 MINUTE CLASS PERIODS
How is a growing human population affecting the availability of natural resources? Students will explore natural resources such as metals, fossil fuels, and freshwater along with the Earth processes that form them. They also investigate the technologies and trade-offs involved with obtaining these resources. PE Assessment Example: How has an increase in human population and natural-resource consumption affected Earth? Support your answer with evidence. Earth's Resources is part of Issues and Science three year middle school program, designed by SEPUP at the Lawrence Hall of Science. This four week unit anchors the lessons around the the socio-science issue: How has an increase in human population and natural resource consumption affected Earth? Investigative phenomena within the 14 activities connect back to the issue and storyline. This unit builds towards and assesses PEs ESS1-4, ESS3-4.
The Student Book guides students in exploring a socio-science issue and connected phemonena through a series of varied activity types. Activity types use one of twelve different instructional strategies to apply Science and Engineering Practices to specific Disciplinary Core Ideas and Cross Cutting Concepts. SEPUP's integrated literacy strategies help students process new science content, develop their analytical skills, make connections between related concepts, and express their knowledge orally and in writing. The built-in assessment system helps teachers identify students' strengths and weaknesses from the beginning of the unit. This allows them to adjust activities when needed so that all students get the best chance to build their knowledge and appreciation of science. At the back of the Student Book there is an Appendix containing additional resources for students, such as science skills, literacy strategies, and media literacy among others.
