Earth and Space Science

This lesson introduces Grade 6 students to the basic structure of the Earth, focusing on the crust, mantle, core, and lithosphere. It will provide a general understanding of each layer's characteristics and their significance in Earth's geology.

This lesson introduces the concept of plate tectonics, explaining how the movement of the Earth's plates leads to natural phenomena such as earthquakes and mountain formation. Through engaging activities and a brief discussion, students will gain a basic understanding of the dynamic nature of the Earth's crust and its impact on our planet.

This lesson aims to introduce students to the rock cycle and help them distinguish between the three main types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Students will understand how rocks transform from one type to another through natural processes.

This lesson will introduce students to the water cycle, a crucial Earth process involving the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface. The lesson will cover the key stages of the water cycle, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.

This lesson introduces students to the concepts of weather and climate, emphasizing the differences between these two phenomena. It provides foundational knowledge about how climate is the average of weather patterns over long periods, unlike the daily atmospheric conditions that define weather.

This lesson introduces students to the concept of human impact on Earth, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices. Students will explore various human activities that affect the planet and engage in a discussion on how they can contribute to reducing these impacts.
