    Context: 

    Nature of Science - Understanding about science - understand that scientists ' investigations are informed by current scientific theories and aim to collect evidence that will be interpreted through processes. 

    Participating and contributing - Develop an understanding of socio-scientific issues by gathering relevant scientific information in order to draw evidence - based conclusions and to take action where appropriate

    Planet Earth and beyond

    Earth systems 

    Level 4

    Students will: Develop an understanding that water, air, rocks and soil, and life forms make up our planet and recognise that these are also Earth’s resources.

    Level 5 

    Students will:Investigate the composition, structure, and features of the geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

    Learning intention: 

    We are exploring the Geological Time scales and the formation of the earth

    Success Criteria: I can

    • recreate a geological timeline correctly and differentiate between Eon, Era and period

    Activities:

    1. Watch the videos on the formation of the Earth
    2. Visit the website: https://geology.com/time.htm
    3. Write down the definitions for Eon, Era and period
    4.  Read the instructions on activity from Scipad on creating a Geological Time line
    5. Cut out the time line and organise the information in your science book, making sure you are ordering the time correctly.
