Embedded Assessment Activity 5, Summarizing Question 6 This embedded assessment is in the form of a summative assessment question that can either be done as a group exercise with whiteboard (as instructed in Summarizing Question 6), or it can be used minus the whiteboard as an exam question to be done individually. The first rubric is for assessment of collaborative work if the question is answered as part of a group. The second rubric is for assessment of content, and is applicable whether the question was answered collaboratively or individually. Describe a hypothetical rock material transfer pathway as follows: You live on the banks of a river. The river floods during high rains. When the water finally recedes, there is a new layer of fine-grained sediment everywhere in your neighborhood. Using the rock cycle diagram and a whiteboard, your group should describe a hypothetical rock cycle pathway for that sediment that traverses at least one time through the rock cycle. Make sure you describe interaction with the hydrologic cycle and plate tectonics. Write down your resulting pathway below and make sure you include any required energy transfers: Learning Goals and Associated Objectives Activity – 1. Students will model the collaborative process of investigative Earth science. Students will be able to: Work collaboratively in groups to collect and interpret data, and to communicate results (including presentation of ideas via whiteboard to larger group).

Students will understand that all processes are the result of energy flowing and mass cycling within and between Earth's systems. This energy is derived from the Sun and Earth's interior. Students will be able to: Describe and illustrate energy transfer processes within and between Earth systems. Explain a viable Earth material transfer scenario using a rock cycle diagram that shows linkages between above-surface processes (erosion and sedimentation) and below-surface processes (lithification, metamorphism, melting).
