S4.B.3.2.2: Describe and predict how changes in the


environment (e.g., fire, pollution, flood, building dams)
can affect systems.
S4.B.3.3.5: Describe the effects of pollution (e.g., litter)
in the community.
S4.A.3.1.1: Categorize systems as either natural or
human-made (e.g., ballpoint pens, simple electrical
circuits, plant anatomy, water cycle).

Formal Evaluation

Informal Evaluation
Observe student answers during
discussion and group work in order
to give guidance when needed.

Bloom's Taxonomy
Webb's Depth of
Knowledge (DOK)

Through class discussion, students


will be able to analyze the
relationship between farming and
soil erosion, describe ways people
can conserve trees and understand
the danger of polluting the
environment.
Students will be able to recognize
that while some resources are
renewable, other resources are not
by making a list of ways to
conserve resources in groups with
100% accuracy.

Big Idea Statement
When people use natural resources,
they use resources that cannot be
replaced and have to do things such
as conserving and recycling in order
to make sure these resources do not
go away for good.

Pre-Assessment of Students
Student knowledge on natural and
man made resources.
Modeling of the Concept
Have student groups share what
they wrote and make a list on the
SMART board.
After completing the list of resources
on the SMART board, explain that
some of the natural resources on the
list cannot be replaced and need to
be conserved or protected.
(Renewable)
Transition
Have students take out journals.
Guiding the Practice
Go to Farming the Land on page
72, tell the students to draw in their
journals how farmers change the
environment by in order to plant
crops.
Go over what students drew.
Read Saving Trees with students
on page 73 and discuss map.
Ask students what would make our
air and water dirty (pollution).

Make a circle map with pollution in


the center on the SMART board and
have students come up with different
things that cause pollution and copy
in journal as I write on the board.
Read Using up Limited Resources
on page 75 and discuss the
importance of conservation and
things we can do to conserve the
environment and natural resources.
Providing the Independent Practice
Student work in groups during think,
pair, share.
