Beyond the Kit

2. Inside the Training Purpose is to extend the use WATER PLANET kit.
Simple Activities and Materials
We are all at different levels of proficiency with NGSS/STEM
Use WATER PLANET kit as a base to add STEM activities and NGSS aligned activities.
Incorporate Science and Engineering Practices
This is not a training for teaching WATER PLANET
Share Resources-Inspire Creativity
This kit does a great job as it is.
Meets SEP’s in many respects, gaps are in the NGSS standards addressed.

4. These practices come from the Next Generation Science Standards and are to serve as a guide for science instruction.
5th Grade focuses especially on using models and engaging in argument from data.

5. Our goal is to create engaging hands-on activities related to the Water Planet topics while integrating the subjects of science technology engineering and math.

6. The engineering design process is a series of steps engineers use to find solutions to real world problems.
Everyone is an engineer. There are multiple solutions to problems.
NGSS-Engineering Design ETS 1-Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.

9. Section teaches about condensation, precipitation, and evaporation as part of the water cycle.
Water is limited.
All the water on earth is called the earth’s hydrosphere and it interacts with the geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere.
NGSS
5-ESS2-1. Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact
5-ESS2-2. Describe and graph the amounts and percentages of water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth.

18. Weather and the Impact it has on the Atmosphere and Geosphere
Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. [Clarification Statement:
**The geosphere, hydrosphere (including ice), atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system and each system is a part of the whole Earth System.
Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere.
The geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to the interactions of two systems at a time.]
