Earth Systems Module Learning Activities

Earth System in a Bottle: In pairs, students will create experimental conditions in terrariums in order to study what plants need to live. Variables to study include the presence or absence of soil, water, and sunlight. Students will record the growth of radish plants as well as observations of “the water cycle” in their terrariums. At the conclusion of their experiments, students will share their results with the class and discuss how water, Earth materials, and air are all necessary to support living things.; Download: English, Français, Deutsch, Español
We’re All Connected: Earth System Interactions: In this activity, students continue to explore the idea of interaction among Earth components as they identify processes in the Earth system and indicate how they illustrate an interaction between two of the Earth system components.; Download: English, Français, Deutsch, Español
Earth System Play: The class will brainstorm, write, create, and produce a play in which they represent how all the Earth systems are interconnected. This play can be based on the Elementary GLOBE book All About Earth: Our World on Stage.; Download: English, Français, Deutsch, Español
