8th Grade Science-2nd 9 Weeks Grading Period Week #1
Science - 8th grade
Second Grading Period CURRICULUM At-A-Glance
Unit 1: Earth Systems Unit Focus: Students understand the processes and the sequence of events of the rock cycle which can produce igneous, sedimentary
and metamorphic rocks from magma found below the surface of the Earth. Students understand that the movement of huge
tectonic plates, on the surface of the Earth, that result in the formation of mountain and mid-ocean ridges. Students
understand that this movement creates gradual changes to the surface of plates, such as mountain building and mid-ocean
ridges. Students also understand that human activities can cause changes, such as beach erosion and land subsidence.
Lesson # Lesson Title Timeline Essential Question
1 Rock Cycle 7 days
How do the processes in the rock cycle change one rock into another?
How does knowledge of the rock cycle relate to a students understanding of the
world around them?
2 Plate Tectonics 8 days
What is the Theory of Plate Tectonics?
How does movement of the Earth's plates change its surface?
