The Globe We Live On

This unit covers content covered under the Earth and Space Science strand of the NAD SMART
Science Curriculum. It is designed to cover grades Pre-K to 4. Each lesson plan is leveled as Easy (Pre-K to K), Medium (Grade 1-2), and Advanced (Grades 3-4) to be adapted to the different grades and students within a grade as needed. Using such, it is flexible and modifiable for single/multi-grade classrooms, resource students, and gifted students.

It seeks to cover the following questions:

• What are Earth’s features?
• What are the causes of the Genesis Flood?
• What causes earthquakes and volcanoes?
• What is the connection between rocks and minerals?
• What is erosion?
• What causes soil pollution?

Many techniques and technology aspects have been incorporated in the Unit to not only make the teacher’s task easy, but to also keep the students engaged because learning should be fun! Strap yourself in for this underground, natural adventure!
