Unit One
Port Clinton Science Course of Study | |
|GRADE: 8 |UNIT: Inside the Restless Earth |Suggested Time: 9 weeks |
|Standard Earth Sciences |
|Students demonstrate an understanding about how Earth systems and processes interact in the geosphere resulting in the habitability of Earth. This includes |
|demonstrating an understanding of the composition of the universe, the solar |
|system and Earth. In addition, it includes understanding the properties and the interconnected nature of Earth's systems, processes that shape Earth and Earth's |
|history. Students also demonstrate an understanding of how the concepts and |
|principles of energy, matter, motion and forces explain Earth systems, the solar system and the universe. Finally, they grasp an understanding of the historical |
|perspectives, scientific approaches and emerging scientific issues associated with Earth and space sciences. |

|[Physical+] | | |Illustrate how the three primary types of plate|
| | | |boundaries (transform, divergent and |
| | | |convergent) cause different landforms (e.g., |
| | | |mountains, volcanoes, ocean trenches). |
| | | |Apply appropriate math skills to interpret |
| | | |quantitative data (e.g., mean, median, mode). |
| | | |Demonstrate that vibrations in materials may |
| | | |produce waves that spread away from the source |
| | | |in all directions (e.g., earthquake waves, |
| | | |sound waves) |
