ACTIVITY 5:

Look at the picture which shows the layers of the geosphere and read the materials it is formed

of.

The teacher hands out the posters of the three layers of the geosphere to three students. The

rest of the classroom has the composition of the different layers and they put behind the right

classmate. Finally, they make their own Earth with its layers.

1 2 3

CORE MANTLE CRUST

Core is made of iron with minor amounts of nickel, and lies at the center of the Earth.

Mantle is made of iron-magnesium silicates and surrounds the core. The mantle makes up the bulk of the Earth.

Crust occurs as two distinct types, oceanic crust and continental crust. Both types of crust are lighter (less dense) and contain more silica than the mantle.


MATERIALS

- Styrofoam balls, cutter, paints and felt-tip pens.

STEPS

1. Draw the hydrosphere and the geosphere. Then, colour the hydrosphere in blue and the geosphere in green.

2. Draw the parallels and meridians. 3. Cut of the ball. 4. Colour the layers of the Earth: Cores orange/ Mantle red/ Crust brown. 5. Use some toothpicks and label the layers of the Earth. Then, write the composition of the

three layers in a card.

ACTIVITY 6:

Make a power point about the characteristics of the different rocks we have studied in the

session and present it to the class. Dont forget to include a final slide with questions for your

classmates.

SESSION 2

ACTIVITY 1:

Look at the poster and learn about the process of Rocks on the Earths surface:

1 The mountains

were very high.

2 Rain slowly

eroded the

rock.

3 Rivers transported

the fragments of

rocks.

4 The fragments of rock were

deposited at the bottom of

the sea as sediment.

Sediments


ACTIVITY 2:

Listen to the audio and read:

ROCKS ON THE EARTHS SURFACE

1. Firstly, rocks on the Earths surface break and erode for different reasons. For example:

Rain and wind can, very slowly over long periods of time, break off small pieces of rocks.

2. Then, fragments of rock can be transported to other places. Rivers transport fragments

of rocks and deposit them at the bottom of lakes and seas. These deposits are called

sediments.

3. Finally, the sediment at the bottom of lakes and seas, forms layers. The deeper layers are

squashed by the weight of the layers on top of them. Very slowly, the sediment in the

deeper layers forms rocks. These rocks are called sedimentary rocks. Clay is a

sedimentary rock.

Millions of years ago:

1- The mountains were very high.

2- Rain slowly eroded the rock.

3- Rivers transported the fragments of rocks.

4- The fragments of rocks were deposited at the bottom of the sea as sediment.


ACTIVITY 3:

Pair work. Order the process and add the right words.

ACTIVITY 4 Student A have picture A. Student B have picture B.

Ask your partner to find out the differences.

____________________ the sediment at the bottom of lakes and seas, forms layers. The deeper layers are squashed by the weight of the layers on top of them. Very slowly the sediment in the deeper layers forms rocks. These rocks are called sedimentary rocks. _____________________, rocks on the Earths surface break and erode for different reasons.

_____________________, fragments of rock can be transported to other places. Rivers

transport fragments of rocks and deposit them at the bottom of lakes and seas. These

deposits are called sediments.

Millions of years later

5- The mountains are eroded.


ACTIVITY 5:

Look at the mind map. Copy and complete it.

Were the

mountains very

high/ low?

Yes, they were/

No, they werent.

Were the fragments

of rock deposited at

the bottom of the sea?

Yes, they were/

No, they werent.

How many layers of

sediments have rocks

formed?

Three layers.

Was there snow?

Yes, there was/

No, there wasnt.

Was it raining?

Yes, there was/

ACTIVITY 6:

In groups, prepare an oral exposition explaining the process of the Rocks on the Earths

surface. You will be recorded. Then, we will watch the video and check your progress (self-

assessment).

REMEMBER!!

ROCKS ON THE EARTHS SURFACE

1 Firstly, rocks on the Earths surface break and erode for different reasons.

2

Then, fragments of rock can be transported to other places.

3 Finally, the sediment at the bottom of lakes and seas, forms layers.


SESSION 3

ACTIVITY 1:

Look at the words in the word cloud.


ACTIVITY 2:

Listen to the audio and read the following text:

The heat, inside the Earth, melts rocks. These melted rocks can form:

volcanoes and earthquakes.

Volcanoes:

Melted rock inside the Earth is called magma. Magma rises to the Earths surface,

through cracks in the Earths crust. When it reaches the surface it forms a

volcano.

Magma that comes out of a volcano is called lava. On the surface, lava cools down

and solidifies. It forms rocks like basalt. Sometimes magma does not reach the

Earths surface. It cools down and solidifies inside the Earths crust. This forms

rocks like granite.

Ash and gasses also come out of volcanoes. When lava, ash and gasses come out of

a volcano it is called a volcanic eruption.


Earthquakes:

The interior of the Earth contains a lot of heat energy. This energy can cause the

movement of huge masses of rock.

If the masses of rock break when they move, they can cause tremors on the

Earths surface, called earthquakes.

Volcanoes and earthquakes change landscapes quickly and violently.

Lava and ash from volcanic eruptions cover the area around the opening of the

volcano. Over time they form a hill or mountain.

In earthquakes, some areas of land sink, others rise, and sometimes rivers

change their course.


ACTIVITY 3:

Write true or false. Then, correct the false sentences orally in the classroom.

SENTENCES TRUE FALSE

A. Magma is melted rocks.

B. Only magma comes out of a volcano.

C. Earthquakes are tremors deep inside the Earth.

D. Volcanoes and earthquakes can change landscapes quickly and violently.

ACTIVITY 4:

Match the words with the definitions and copy them in your notebook.

WORDS

DEFINITIONS

VOLCANO:

They are tremors on the Earths

surface caused by the heat energy

inside the Earth.

LAVA:

When lava, ash and gasses come

out of a volcano.

MAGMA:

It is melted rock inside the Earth.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION:

Rocks formed inside the Earths

crust.

BASALT:

An opening in the Earths surface

or crust, which allows hot magma,

volcanic ash and gasses to escape

from below the surface.

GRANITE:

Magma that comes out of a

volcano.

EARTHQUAKES:

Rocks formed on the surface, when

lava cools and solidifies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crust_%28geology%29http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magmahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_ash

ACTIVITY 5:

Work in pairs. Look at these two cards (1 and 2) and try to put the sentences in the right order.

Then, write how a volcano is formed in your notebook.

CARD 1

Magma reaches the Earths surface.

The lava cools down and forms rocks

like basalt.

Rocks inside the Earth melt because of

the heat.

CARD 2

Magma comes out of the volcano with

ash and gasses.

Magma rises to the Earths surface

through gaps in the crust.

ACTIVITY 6:

Make your own volcano.

Then, explain how a volcano works.

MATERIALS

- A piece of board or Wood - Clay - Paints - Varnish - Twigs - Moss - Bicarbonate of soda - A bottle of vinegar - A plastic glass - Red food colouring

1. Use a clay to build a cone shaped volcano. Dont forget to

make a hole in the centre of your

volcano.

2. When the clay is dry, paint your volcano. If you want

use your volcano again,

paint it with varnish. You

can also decorate it with

twigs and moss.

3. Put one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda into the volcano.

4. Put one teaspoon of food colouring in a plastic glass

containing some vinegar. Pour

the mixture into the volcano and

watch the volcano erupt!


REMEMBER!!

ROCKS INSIDE THE EARTH.

1 The heat inside the Earth melts rocks. These melted rocks can form: Volcanoes and Earthquakes.

2 Magma rises to the Earths surface, through cracks in the Earths crust. When it reaches the surface it forms a volcano.

3 Earthquakes are tremors on the Earths surface caused by the heat energy inside the Earth.

4 Volcanoes and Earthquakes can change landscapes quickly and violently.
