PROCEDURE

Element of
Suggested Activities
the Plan

Motivation:

Invite students to look at the Dynamic Planet Map. Facilitate discussion with the
following questions:

 What forces build up a mountain?

 What forces can break down Earth?
Awareness  What does erosion do to Earth's surface?
 Where do all the rivers drain?
 What role does water play in sculpting the surface of Earth?

Inform students that these are all geological processes. In order to deepening their
understanding of how these processes impact Earth's surface, invite them to play
the Geological Processes Game. Challenge them to be the one to build the biggest
mountain.

1. Students will get into teams of 4 or less. Each team will need
a Gameboard, Gameboard Cards, one die (foam or other) and container
of centimeter cubes (about 120). If centimeter cubes are not available
paper, counters or another pattern blocks can be used.
2. Directions for how to play the game are on the gameboard. Remind
students they are to move in a forward (not backward) direction. Some
adaptations (if needed):

Activity o Use a timer to identify length of playing time.

o If area on gameboard is too small to build on, have students build
on a piece of paper.
o Students may need to count out their mountain pieces if a clear
winner cannot be established.
o Students might be able to work as teams if needed in order for all
students to participate.

1. After game time has ended, have students return supplies to designated
Analysis area. Initiate a group discussion about what they learned about
geological processes as they played the game.
2. In a journal or on the board, allow students to list several of their ideas
about concepts they learned from doing this activity.
3. Develop the idea that geological forces of erosion and uplift are
responsible for much of Earth's features.
 4. Have students identify different types of erosion (wind, water) and
weathering (mechanical -- root pry, freezing and thawing; chemical
weathering).
5. Review major concepts (volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering, and
erosion reshape Earth's surface.)

Abstraction Discuss the following to the students:

The Geological Processes of the Earth.

- Exogenous Process
- Endogenous Process
- Continental Drift Theory
- Plate Tectonics Theory

 The students will answer the following question:

Application

ground movements?
