CONCEPTS

SKILLS

● Quantity of saltwater and ● Freshwater on Earth ● Distribution of water on Earth

● Use mathematics/computational thinking ● Compare quantities ● Provide evidence ● Describe interactions ● Develop a model ● Plan and Carry out Investigation ● Design solutions

● Interaction between Earth’s systems ● Effects of WEathering and Erosion on Geosphere ● Naturally Occurring event that impact humans

LEARNING PROGRESSIONS Water sources and distribution: oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, groundwater, polar ice caps. 1. Convert a percentage to a decimal. 2. Writing an informational paragraph and writing a scientifc claim with evidence. 3. Water on Earth is stored in different reservoirs such as oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, groundwater, polar ice caps. 4. Water reservoirs are composed of freshwater or saltwater. 5. Water on Earth is precious and should be conserved as very little of it is actually usable. 6. Earth’s systems interact in multiple ways to affect Earth’s surface. 7. Features of Earth’s Geosphere. 8. Features of Earth’s Atmosphere. 9. Features of Earth’s Biosphere. 10. Human impact on Earth’s Systems. 11. Design a rainwater collection system to reduce the effects of a naturally occurring event - drought in Utah. END OF UNIT COMPETENCY WITH LANGUAGE FEATURES & FUNCTIONS By the end of the unit I will be able to use evidence to argue to show how 2 of Earth’s systems interact with each other. Language Functions and Features: ● Use Verbs to defne the phenomenon (When water from the Hydrosphere interacts with the Geosphere, _______.) ● Conditional Clauses (If _______ happens, I predict that ________ will occur. When I change __________ , ___________ is affected.)
