6th grade SC.6.E.7.4: Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning) Research how the spheres of the Earth interact with each other and create a presentation that illustrates these interactions. Create a model that differentiates and explains interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. Create a graphic organizer that recognizes the relationships among Earth’s spheres (What happens in each sphere that affects or influences weather and climate?). SC.6.E.7.5: Explain how energy provided by the sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning) Design and build a model to observe convection currents in the atmosphere and hydrosphere Design and perform an experiment that compares the rate of heat loss of different substances (sand, water, soil, rock, cement, etc.) and apply it to the earth system Create a graphic organizer that relates how energy provided by the Sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and temperature differences between air, water, and land. SC.6.P.13.1Investigate and describe types of forces including contact forces and forces acting at a distance, such as electrical, magnetic, and gravitational. (Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts) Design and explain demonstrations that show the effect of electrical, magnetic and gravitational forces Explore how friction on various surfaces affects the pulling of a block or a ball rolling. Compare and contrast contact forces and forces acting at a distance and provide examples for each.
