LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by clearing and cleaning tables.
5min Teacher distributes materials.
20min Plate Tectonics - Cracker & Ketchup Models. Teacher demonstrates how to make a digital character and overviews the assignment. Students recreate the ‘transform’ example, add arrows, labels, and a brief description (already done). Students then model the other boundaries with crackers and ketchup making sure their digital character is in each photo. (Tip: Take all the photos first and then add the arrows, labels, and brief description.)
10min Clear tables. Wipe tables. Dry tables.
5min Wrap up.
Plate Tectonics: Earth's Features
CW: Completed Earth’s Features Diagram (p44).

LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by coloring and gluing notebook.
15min Complete the diagram by identifying the 3 tectonic plates, convergent boundary, divergent boundary, thermal vent, trench, ocean, mantle, mountains & volcanoes, and the convection currents.
10min Video examples of volcanoes, trenches, thermal vents, and earthquakes.
5min Emergency BIG Earthquake Plan: Meeting Locations (Main locations and alternative); Numbers of Contacts (In case phone is lost, damaged, or out of power.), Siblings/Family (Who checks/picks up who?), Food/Water (How much do you have? Is it enough for two weeks? How will you heat it?); Safest Location (What’s the safest spot in each room of your home?) Medical/Etc. (What will you do if a person has medical needs like insulin?)
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
Rock Cycle: Chocolate Version
CW: Complete Chocolate Rock Cycle Slideshow (Group).

LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now clearing tables.
5min Teacher outlines the Chocolate Rock Cycle activity. Students clear off tables and clean all working surfaces.
10min> Students model weathering & erosion, compaction & cementation, and sedimentary rock. Students document the process and each part in their slideshow.
10min> Students model heat & pressure and metamorphic rock. Students document the process and each part in their slideshow.
5min Students model melting and magma. Students document the process and each part in their slideshow.
5min Students write a summary of the Chocolate Rock Cycle.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
AIM: Develop a model to cycling of material through the rock cycle.
