What will we be learning?
We have 3 major parts to this unit.
Rocks and Minerals- We will explore the various types of rocks and minerals, their formation, and how to classify them.
Soils- We will evaluate the types of soil and how soil is formed.
Geohazards- We will define geohazards, identify the risks they pose, and develop strategies to limit their impact.
We will know we've got it when we can:

Five Minute Quick-Write Activity
3.6 a. Develop, communicate, and justify an evidence-based scientific explanation addressing questions regarding the interaction of Earth’s surface with water, air, gravity, and biological activity (DOK 1-3)
3.6 b. Analyze and interpret data, maps, and models concerning the direct and indirect evidence produced by physical and chemical changes that water, air, gravity, and biological activity create (DOK 1-3)
3.6 c. Evaluate negative and positive consequences of physical and chemical changes on the geosphere (DOK 2-3)
3.6 d. Use remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) data to interpret landforms and landform impact on human activity (DOK 1-2)
3.7 a. Develop, communicate, and justify an evidence-based scientific explanation regarding natural hazards, and explain their potential local and global impacts (DOK 1-3)
3.7 b. Analyze and interpret data about natural hazards using direct and indirect evidence (DOK 1-2)
3.7 c. Make predictions and draw conclusions about the impact of natural hazards on human activity – locally and globally (DOK 2-3)
