THE GEOSPHERE (Unit 7-Science Y5)

We have been learning about THE ATMOSPHERE and THE HYDROSPHERE. Even though today it is time to learn about THE GEOSPHERE.

What is the geosphere?

The geosphere is made up of three layers.

GEOSPHERE LAYERS

Could you join the picture with the correct answer to these questions?

 Which is the outer layer of the geosphere?

Which is the inner layer?

Which layer is between the crust and the core?

ROCKS and MINERALS

Are rocks natural materials?

Are minerals natural materials?

What are rocks made of?

To get to know more than rocks, we are going to watch this webpage:

ROCK CYCLE

TYPES OF ROCKS

Rocks can be classified into three types depending on how they are formed:

 SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

IGNEOUS ROCKS

 METAMORPHIC ROCKS

To remember everything about the Geosphere, we are going to do these activities:

The ATMOSPHERE (Unit 7 - The Earth - Science Y5)

The gist of this topic is THE ATMOSPHERE.

What is the atmosphere?

The atmosphere is the air which surrounds the Earth.

To get to know more about the atmosphere, we will visit this webpage:

http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/weather-and-climate/earths-atmosphere.htm

How many types of gases are there in the atmosphere?

THE LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE

 It is the lowest layer. Plants and animals live here.

It is the next layer.

It is a thin layer of ozone in the upper stratosphere.

There is no atmosphere in this layer.

WEATHER PHENOMENA

 

It is water, such as rain, snow or hail, which falls from the atmosphere to the Earth.

It is the movement of air, and has different names depending on how strongly it blows.

To remember we are going to make this activity:

VIDEOS ABOUT THE EARTH (Science Y5)

Tengo el placer de presentaros los post publicados por los alumnos de 5ºB en la asignatura de Science.

Estos posts han sido publicados en el blog de aula:

Los alumnos han utilizado la herramienta de la web 2.0 POPPLET para hacer sus propios diagramas o mapas conceptuales sobre la unidad 7 THE EARTH. 

Después han utilizado sus propios mapas conceptuales para construir un vídeo utilizando la web tool http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/. 

Ese vídeo es "upload" por ellos mismos a su propio canal de youtube para terminar con todo ello, en su propio blog, construyendo un post dedicado a resumir y entender mejor la unidad.

Aquí os dejo con cada post hecho por cada alumno.
