● Quantity of saltwater and ● Freshwater on Earth ● Distribution of water on Earth
● Use mathematics/computational thinking ● Compare quantities ● Provide evidence ● Describe interactions ● Develop a model ● Plan and Carry out Investigation ● Design solutions
● Interaction between Earth’s systems ● Effects of WEathering and Erosion on Geosphere ● Naturally Occurring event that impact humans
LEARNING PROGRESSIONS Water sources and distribution: oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, groundwater, polar ice caps. 1. Convert a percentage to a decimal. 2. Writing an informational paragraph and writing a scientifc claim with evidence. 3. Water on Earth is stored in different reservoirs such as oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, groundwater, polar ice caps. 4. Water reservoirs are composed of freshwater or saltwater. 5. Water on Earth is precious and should be conserved as very little of it is actually usable. 6. Earth’s systems interact in multiple ways to affect Earth’s surface. 7. Features of Earth’s Geosphere. 8. Features of Earth’s Atmosphere. 9. Features of Earth’s Biosphere. 10. Human impact on Earth’s Systems. 11. Design a rainwater collection system to reduce the effects of a naturally occurring event - drought in Utah. VOCABULARY ● Glacier ● Ground water
