Unit 5: How do you prepare for floods and landslides? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Earth Science
Students learn about surface processes by exploring flooding and landslides, and how humans design communities to mitigate associated hazards. This makes sense because water, in general, and high-flow events in ...

Unit 2.1: Recognizing plate boundaries part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Earth Science
Students work individually to make observations about the distribution of earthquakes, volcanoes, topography, and the age of the sea floor from four maps, then work in small groups to synthesize their observations ...

Unit 4.6: Are Hurricanes causing more damage now? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Earth Science
In this unit, students are introduced to ways that hurricanes cause damage and create models of why hurricane damage has changed throughout the recorded history of hurricanes in the USA. Students make connections ...

Unit 6- How Do We Explore Planets in Our Solar System? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Earth Science
Summary This unit is the culminating unit of the TIDeS Earth Science Course. Students use the process of science from Unit 1 and their knowledge of Earth Science processes from Units 2-5 to investigate various ...

Unit 2.3: What is energy and how can we transform it? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
What is energy and how can we transform and utilize it? Students have already touched on the idea of energy in a previous unit, but in this unit we investigate it more deeply through activities that connect ...

Unit 1.2: Introducing SEPs and CCCs part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
How is this class aligned in a way to help you with your future teaching? In this unit, we lay out the format of a class, how it aligns with NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards), and how students can use these ...

Unit 4.2 Why do objects change their motion? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
Why do objects change their motion? In this unit, students discover force types and the connection between a force and an acceleration. In an engineering and design project, students will construct a ...

Unit 3: Destiny Density part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
Summary: Unit 3 introduces students to density through the cross-cutting concept lenses of patterns and structure and function across the gas, liquid, and solid components of our planet. Students investigate ...

Unit 3.5 How do the densities of Earth materials relate to the layers of the Earth? part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
How do we measure the density of Earth materials? Students measure, calculate, and compare material densities while using models to explore fluid density variations.

Unit 4: May the forces be with you. Or without you. part of TIDeS:TIDeS Teaching Materials:Physical Science
Summary: Unit 4 introduces students to position, velocity, acceleration, and Newton's three laws of motion. Students engage with the materials through hands-on explorations, generation and analysis of their ...
