Project: Earth

A detailed plan for children to study about the Earth. Suggested for 5-10 years old kids.

I. Earth: What is that?

• From personal view (daily life)
• From ancient mind
• From scientific view

II. Structural study:

• Earth layers: Cut-through, clay, in a jar

III. Changes:

• Predictable cycles

– Spinning: seasons, day and night

– Hydrosphere: green-house jar

– Ground: mountain, valley, erosion

– Weather

• Unpredictable

– Extreme weather

– Disasters

– Pollution
