three-fourths of its surface is covered by a relatively thin layer of water, and the entire planet is surrounded by a relatively thin blanket of air, and is able to support life. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:

1. Earth has four main systems that interact: the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere.

a. The geosphere is the portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth’s interior, rocks and minerals, landforms, and the processes that shape the Earth’s surface.

b. The hydrosphere is the liquid water component of the Earth. Water covers the majority of the Earth’s surface and circulates through the crust, oceans and atmosphere in what is known as the water cycle.

c. The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and trace gases that include water vapor. The atmosphere has a different physical and chemical composition at different elevations.

d. The biosphere is made up of all that is living on the Earth. It is a life-supporting global ecosystem, where living things depend on other organisms and the environment.

2. The sun provides the light and heat necessary to maintain life on Earth and is the ultimate source of energy (i.e., producers receive their energy from the sun). || The student will describe technological advances that enhance science and mathematics and describe how science and mathematics advance technology. The student will apply problem-solving and critical thinking techniques for troubleshooting, research and development, invention and innovation and experimentation and implement these strategies as a multidisciplinary approach. The student will apply creativity in developing technology products and systems.1. 2. 3. Create a model to explain a solution to a problem. Test and evaluate a design for improvement. Identify quality controls necessary in a technology product or system process. Standard 12: The student will apply safe and proper use of tools, machines, materials, processes and technical concepts. ||

 * Atmoshpere || Learn about the layers of the atmosphere and their characteristic temperature as well as what gases make up the air we breathe. || 1 week || The atmosphere surrounds the earth and is made of gases that protect and give life to the planet. There are 5 distinct layers that constitute our atmosphere; troposhere, stratosphere, mesoshpere, thermosphere and exosphere.

Expansion: The sun provides the earth with solar radiation which it absorbs and gives off. The Earth gives off Infared radiation which is trapped by a "greenhouse effect" and these greenhouse gases remain in our atmoshpere warming up the climate because they can not escape. || ? possibly Inspiration || Jaime ||
