Grade Level/Subject – 5th Grade Science
TEKS
Objectives / 5.7 B – Recognize how landforms such as deltas, canyons, and sand dunes are the result of changes to Earth’s surface by wind water, and ice.
5.7 C – Identify alternative energy resources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermal and biofuels.
ELPS / ELPS.c.1 / The ELL uses language learning strategies to develop an awareness of his or her own learning processes in all content areas. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. The student is expected to:
ELPS.c.2 / The ELL listens to a variety of speakers including teachers, peers, and electronic media to gain an increasing level of comprehension of newly acquired language in all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in listening. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. The student is expected to:
ELPS.c.3 / The ELL speaks in a variety of modes for a variety of purposes with an awareness of different language registers (formal/informal) using vocabulary with increasing fluency and accuracy in language arts and all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in speaking. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. The student is expected to:
ELPS.c.4 / The ELL reads a variety of texts for a variety of purposes with an increasing level of comprehension in all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in reading. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across the foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. For Kindergarten and Grade 1, certain of these student expectations apply to text read aloud for students not yet at the stage of decoding written text. The student is expected to:
ELPS.c.5 / The ELL writes in a variety of forms with increasing accuracy to effectively address a specific purpose and audience in all content areas. ELLs may be at the beginning, intermediate, advanced, or advanced high stage of English language acquisition in writing. In order for the ELL to meet grade-level learning expectations across foundation and enrichment curriculum, all instruction delivered in English must be linguistically accommodated (communicated, sequenced, and scaffolded) commensurate with the student's level of English language proficiency. For Kindergarten and Grade 1, certain of these student expectations do not apply until the student has reached the stage of generating original written text using a standard writing system. The student is expected to:
Activities (Guided/Independent)
Assessments / Materials/Resources
Mon
12/5 / ***STEMSCOPE: Read and highlight information on STEMscopedia – Changes To Land
***Elaborate – Interactive Investigation
***Continue discussion of fossil fuels/sedimentary rocks.
***Explain that sedimentary rocks are also formed through a process called –Weathering, Erosion and Deposition.
***Watch Bill Nye Video – Erosion
***Teach Erosion and Deposition Song
***Begin and Discuss Mineral Mountain & Salt Block and how wind, water and ice can weather, erode and deposit sediment into new locations. / ***Mineral Mountain – birdseed bell, video and portfolio pages
Tues
12/6 / ***Mineral Mountain each day at the beginning of each class period with the student defining what they are doing as they are doing it.
***WED Cards – with definitions and sorting cards to determine which pictures are weathering, erosion and / or deposition.
***Demonstrate with sand, quarter and spray bottle how the soil/Earth is worn away by the moving water and what happens to the sand that is protected under the quarter/which acts as a barrier. / ***WED portfolio pages
Wed
12/7 / STEMSCOPE: Evaluate – Post Assessment, Scope Review Game and Active Assessment
***Discuss Constructive/Destructive Forces change the Earth’s surface –
(Rapid/Slow Processes – portfolio page
WED Lab – How wind, water and ice can change the Earth’s surface –
WIND – Stream table, straws and sand
Water – Stream table, sand and water bottles
Ice – Ice cubes and sand / ***Portfolio pages, stream tables, straws, sand, spray water bottles and ice.
Thur.
12/8 / ***Complete portfolio pages from yesterday and discuss landforms sand dunes, deltas and canyons and how they are formed through WED.
Complete definitions and activities for these landforms. Including Stalagmites and Stalactites.
***Discuss how through WED, the build up of stalagmites and stalactites occur. / ***Portfolio pages
Fri
12/9 / ***CA – 3.2 – Energy Resources
***Check portfolios and complete any missing assignments. / ***Assessment – Energy Resources
Academic Vocabulary / ***Changes To Land
***Landform – Feature on the surface of Earth such as a mountain, hill, dune, ocean or river.
***Delta – A triangular landform where a river empties into another body of water,
***Canyon – A deep gorge in the surface of Earth formed by the erosion of moving water and sand.
***Sand Dune – Hills formed by wind blowing and depositing sand.
***Weathering – The breakdown of rocks into smaller particles from the effects of wind, water, and ice.
***Deposition – The build-up of land by the settlement of sediment and soil in a new location.
***Erosion – The gradual wearing down of something by wind, water, and other natural forces.
High Level Questions / ***Explain the differences between Weathering , erosion and deposition.
***Give examples of how this occurs outside every day.
***Describe both of the rapid processes and the slow processes of how the Earth is constantly changing.
