The Earth’s Systems topic encourages students to be aware of the various interactions between different Earth’s systems, including the ways that humans impact those systems. During this topic, the students:

Discover that Earth’s systems are the hydrosphere (water), the geosphere (solid rock), the atmosphere (air), and the biosphere (living things).
Observe and record interactions between the different Earth’s systems.
Model an Earth’s system and the way it interacts with another system. Then present their models to the class.
Describe how water can be on Earth’s surface, underground, or in the air.
Model how Earth’s water circulates through the hydrologic (water) cycle.
Explain some of the ways we use and can conserve water.
Investigate ways to clean polluted water.
Investigate ways that humans impact the environment in both positive and negative ways.
