ByMargaret Kazmierski, Sherri Ricks, Rebecca Linford, & Jennifer Kinney

T-ED 565 Section 1

Where are we headed with this?

~Understand how sedimentary rock is formed~

Standard 1: Ask question and state hypothesis leading to scientific investigation, interpret and evaluate data to form

conclusionsStandard 4: Explain how minerals rocks and soils form then

model the natural processes that shape Earth’s surface.

How Will We Hook Them?Inquiry Based Exploration

~Inquiry Based Exploration

~Hypothesize/Journal “What will happen when these materials are mixed?”

Pebbles

Mud

Sand

Soil

Jar

What Activit ies/Strategies Will be Used?

• Exploration Stations (Hands-On)• Sedimentary Snacks• Compare and Contrast Using Graphic

Organizer• Direct Instruction Through Internet
