System Schematic Slides
A comprehensive 7-slide presentation for the 'Systems in Sync' lesson. It features a car-mechanic analogy for geology, a YouTube video embed for Earth's spheres, detailed breakdown of Greek roots (Lithos, Atmos, Hydro, Bio), and interactive prompts for the main systems-mapping activity.
System Mapper Worksheet
A specialized worksheet for the 'Systems in Sync' mapping activity. It features a technical 'schematic' layout where students draw interaction arrows between the four spheres and document the chain reaction triggered by their assigned scenario.
Scenario Brief Cards
A set of four scenario cards (The Eruption, The Irrigation, The Hurricane, and Urban Sprawl) for the 'Systems in Sync' lesson. Each card provides a narrative trigger and specific engineering questions to guide students in mapping Earth system interactions.
Earth Spheres Anchor Chart
A visual reference anchor chart detailing Earth's four spheres (Lithosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere) with their Greek roots, definitions, and the core concept of system interaction.
System Mapping Instructions Sheet
A student-facing instruction sheet for the group activity. It defines group roles (Chief Engineer, Technical Drafter, etc.) and provides a clear three-step protocol for mapping system interactions based on their scenario cards.
Climate Chain Reflection
An extension writing task for students to reflect on the long-term system interactions of climate change. It provides a prompt and structured writing space for students to trace the chain reaction from the Atmosphere to the Hydrosphere and finally the Biosphere.
System Mechanic Teacher Guide
A comprehensive teacher guide for the 'Systems in Sync' lesson. It includes pacing, discussion anchors derived from the provided video context, expected interaction paths for student scenarios, and common misconceptions to address.
