TLW develop abilities necessary to do and understand scientific inquiry in the earth and environmental sciences. Obj 1.01 Idendify questions and problems in the earth and environmental sciences that can be answered through scientific investigations. Obj 1.02 Design and conduct scientific investigations to answer questions relatied to earth and environmental science. Students will be able to: a) Create testable hypotheses, b) Identify variables c) use a control or comparison group when appropriate d) select and use appropriate measurement tools e) collect and record data f) organize data into charts and graphs g)analyze and interpret data h) communicate findings. Goal 2. TLW build an understanding of the lithospheric materials, tectonic processes, and the human and environmental impacts of natural and human-induced changes in the lithosphere. || Bell-Ringer/Warm Up (Quiz): Not Applicable today, but you can expect a warm up activity each day Review of Prior Lesson/Focus: This is not applicable today. Today's Focus/Anticipatory Set: Getting Acquainted, Positive Statement of Expectations and Behavior, Class Rules, Classroom Procedures & Order of Events, Assessment/Grade Scale, Homework Essential Questions: How is earth science a blend of sciences? How earth's four major systems interact? Who are the scientists involved in the study of Earth Science? What scientist might be involved in the study of the four earth systems? What is involved in carrying out scientific experiments? Why is it important to communicate scientific methods and results accurately.

Lesson Segment 3.1 Unit 1: Earth Science/Chapter 1--The Nature of Science: Section 1, Earth Science/ : Materials/Resources Needed: .........Provide students the Chapter 1 Study Guide, the Nature of Science .........Use the Interactive On-line Textbook (amityregion5) .........Computers(Laptop/Desktops); speakers .........Potential Test/Exam Questions .........Labs for the Week (paper-pencil; wet labs, safety symbols/tests)

There are four generally recognized divisions of earth science--geology, oceanography, astronomy, meterology. Read about these divisions on page 6 of the EarthGEU text. This cite, referenced below, has an icon on it that will read for you in english. If spanish is your major language, there is a second icon that will read to you in spanish.

There are various relationships between each of these divisions that we want to cover. These interrelationships form systems. There are four of these earth systems, or earth spheres.
