Students imagine they are mineralogists whose task is to identify two mineral specimens. They use this knowledge to classify and identify rocks. Students are paleontologists whose task is to dig for fossils as clues to prehistoric life.
Students investigate fixtures and appliances in the home that use and potentially waste water.
They then interpret data to determine weekly, monthly, and yearly water use. Students map earthquakes and volcanoes, developing hypotheses about the relationship between these phenomena and plate movements. They confirm their ideas by viewing animations showing the formation of folded mountains, volcanic mountains, and ocean ridges. Students record observations and data about two hypothetical earthquakes and locate their epicenters. As they descend, students track water temperature and pressure and view their data on scatter plots that indicate how each of these properties varies as they go deeper.
