Description

This is a bundle of all of my resources for teaching Earth and Space Science at the middle school level! These resources include a mix of Cornell Doodle Notes, lab activities, inquiry activities, digital lessons and units, projects, and pixel art digital content review activities.

✨ Please note that your students will NEED 1:1 devices in order for you to deliver this curriculum! With a mix of hands-on labs and activities, paper-based notes, and the digital student lessons, this is a true blended learning curriculum.

Receive a HUGE discount with this BIG bundle of over 60 Earth and Space Science resources! These are the topics that are covered by the products in this bundle:

Earth's Spheres
Earth's Continents, Oceans, and Invisible Lines
Layers of the Earth
Plate Tectonics
Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Rocks and Minerals
Weathering on Earth's Surface
Geologic History
Water Cycle

You can download the free pacing guide for this bundle!

With this resource, you will be delivering high-quality, NGSS-aligned curriculum with both digital and paper-based resources including hands-on activities and labs, fantastic online simulations, formative and summative assessments, group work and projects, scaffolded notes, and more!

I have poured over a decade of experience into the resources included in this bundle. Trust me: the planning, organization, and teacher-testing here will save you SO MUCH TIME.

I genuinely LOVE teaching Earth and Space Science because of these resources!

✨ GROWING BUNDLE! Additional resources are currently being planned, prepped, and tested with my students! As I add these resources to this bundle, you will receive them for FREE.

✨ DON'T PAY TWICE! If you have previously purchased my Earth and Space Science Cornell Doodle Notes Bundle, then DON'T PAY TWICE for the doodle notes! Check out my Earth and Space full curriculum bundle without the doodle notes -- CLICK HERE!

NGSSMS-ESS1-4

Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth’s 4.6-billion-year-old history. Emphasis is on how analyses of rock formations and the fossils they contain are used to establish relative ages of major events in Earth’s history. Examples of Earth’s major events could range from being very recent (such as the last Ice Age or the earliest fossils of homo sapiens) to very old (such as the formation of Earth or the earliest evidence of life). Examples can include the formation of mountain chains and ocean basins, the evolution or extinction of particular living organisms, or significant volcanic eruptions. Assessment does not include recalling the names of specific periods or epochs and events within them.

NGSSMS-ESS2-3

Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions. Examples of data include similarities of rock and fossil types on different continents, the shapes of the continents (including continental shelves), and the locations of ocean structures (such as ridges, fracture zones, and trenches). Paleomagnetic anomalies in oceanic and continental crust are not assessed.

NGSSMS-ESS3-2

Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects. Emphasis is on how some natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions and severe weather, are preceded by phenomena that allow for reliable predictions, but others, such as earthquakes, occur suddenly and with no notice, and thus are not yet predictable. Examples of natural hazards can be taken from interior processes (such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), surface processes (such as mass wasting and tsunamis), or severe weather events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods). Examples of data can include the locations, magnitudes, and frequencies of the natural hazards. Examples of technologies can be global (such as satellite systems to monitor hurricanes or forest fires) or local (such as building basements in tornado-prone regions or reservoirs to mitigate droughts).

NGSSMS-ESS3-1

Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how the uneven distributions of Earth’s mineral, energy, and groundwater resources are the result of past and current geoscience processes. Emphasis is on how these resources are limited and typically non-renewable, and how their distributions are significantly changing as a result of removal by humans. Examples of uneven distributions of resources as a result of past processes include but are not limited to petroleum (locations of the burial of organic marine sediments and subsequent geologic traps), metal ores (locations of past volcanic and hydrothermal activity associated with subduction zones), and soil (locations of active weathering and/or deposition of rock).

NGSSMS-ESS2-2

Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events. Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.
