features

unique or important parts

Develop Anchor Model

Homework

Think about the key features identified as part of the Grand Canyon.

Are those features found only in the Grand Canyon? Are there other places that have some of the same features?

Make a list of ideas to share with classmates.

Lesson 3

What do Earth’s rock layers reveal?

Over the Rim, In to the Canyon

What do the Grand Canyon’s rock layers reveal?

Trace at least four distinct layers of rock.

Key Term

rock layers

big stripes in Earth’s surface

Interpret Patterns in Fossil Evidence

Provide evidence to support your thinking.

What type of environment do you think the fossilized organisms lived in?

Create Rock Layer Model

What does the rock layer you were assigned reveal about the landscape?

Lesson 4

What do the Grand Canyon’s rock layers reveal?

What patterns do you notice in the fossil evidence?

What do you still wonder about how the landscape changed over time?

Make a Claim

Which rock layer in the Grand Canyon formed first and which rock layer formed most recently?

Explain what the fossils in different rock layers indicate about those rock layers.

Lesson 5

What types of organisms do you think might survive in different areas of the Grand Canyon today? Why?

How did the environment of the

How

did the environment change from when the Grand Canyon Supergroup formed to when the Bright Angel Shale layer formed?

How

did the environment change from when the Bright Angel Shale layer formed to when the Hermit Formation formed?

How

did the environment change from when the Coconino Sandstone layer formed to when the Kaibab Formation formed?

How does

of the Grand Canyon today influence what organisms can be found there?

Draw or describe how the environment of the Grand Canyon has changed over time.

Anchor Model

Conceptual Checkpoint

Driving Question Board

How are Earth’s rock layers uncovered?

Describe and compare the properties of rocks found near your home, and predict if the rocks came from the same or different layers of Earth.

Lesson 6

How can we make a canyon in our rock layer model?

What causes rock to break?

What do you notice about the rock wall around the waterfall?

What might have caused the holes and cracks in the rock wall to form?

Use the materials at each station to investigate how forces acting on a material can cause changes to the material.

How did the interaction of one material with another during this investigation help you understand the effects materials might have on rocks?

Record observations, take photographs, or create drawings of changes in materials caused by moving water, freezing water, wind, or plant growth.

Lesson 7

Key Term

weathering

a process in which a force acts on a rock and breaks it

into smaller pieces

What causes rock to break?

Create a model that shows how weathering might have

caused the holes and cracks in the rock.

What do you think now about the rock at Deer Creek Falls? How has your thinking changed?

Lesson 8

Where does all the weathered rock go?

Prepare Stream Table Landscape

Clean Up Work Area

What do our models represent?

How could we use our models to explore the Grand Canyon’s formation?

Lesson 9

What do you think could move weathered rock?

Where does all the weathered rock go?

What do our breath and liquid water represent about the Grand Canyon?

What similarities do you notice about all three investigations?

What happens to the sediment when we take away the cause of erosion?

Key Term erosion

process that moves weathered rock

Key Term sediment

the weathered rock that is carried away by wind, water, ice, or gravity

Where does all the weathered rock go?

Driving Question Board

Look for evidence of erosion in your community. Draw a sketch or take a photograph of what you observe.

Lesson 10

Driving Question Board

Key Term rate of erosion how quickly or slowly erosion occurs

Brainstorm ways in which erosion occurs quickly and ways in which it occurs slowly.

What affects how quickly or slowly erosion occurs?

Plan Investigations about Rates of Erosion

Make a claim.

What affects the rate of erosion for one cause of erosion?

Homework

Lesson 11

Where do you think the weathered rock from the Grand Canyon might go?

Based on this photograph, where is the sediment?

Compare weathering and erosion.
