Earth: Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow

This unit is a sequel to Planet Rock. In Planet Rock, we learned about the different types of rocks that make up our Earth, the rock cycle, and how our earth is forever changing. In this new Unit, we will learn how Plate Tectonics plays a huge role in how our Earth has changed and is still changing. We will look at cause and effects related to plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes and mountains. We will also dabble into Earth's magnetism and fossils within the Earth's crust.

Here are a couple of fun songs that use a lot of the vocabulary that we will be learning throughout the unit.
