1. Technology acts a direct substitute, with no functional improvement
It’s A Hard Rock Life
To prepare for the lesson on Investigating the Weathering of Rocks watch “Mr. Heath’s Weathering and Erosion Song” video
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
Using your assigned device, log into Blackboard and click on Mr. Savoie’s Blackboard.
Click the link “Mr. Heath’s Weathering and Erosion Song”.
Click the “play” button.
Watch video.
This task uses:
EdPuzzle
Learning Objective(s):
What does weathering of rocks mean and what could cause a rock to weather.
TEACHER NOTES: The teacher will need create an account to put the link to this EdPuzzle on their Blackboard site.

2. A An Eroding Vocabulary
Compete with others in a game of Kahoots to identify definitions of terms associated with the Physical and Chemical Erosion of Rocks
AUGMENTATION
Technology acts as a direct tool for substitution with some functional improvement.
Using your assigned device, log into Blackboard and click Mr. Savoie’s Blackboard.
Click the link to Kahoots
To join the game enter game code
Compete to see who can properly identify terms the fastest that are associated with the physical and chemical erosion of rocks.
This task uses:
Kahoots
Learning Objective(s):
Identify and define terms that describe the physical and chemical erosion of rocks.
TEACHER NOTES: The teacher will need create an account to put the link to this Kahoot on their Blackboard site. Remember to change the code in #2 above.

3. Rock-n-Roll: The Weathering of RocksM
Rock-n-Roll: The Weathering of Rocks
You will take pictures of rocks before, during, and after the experiment
to show the changes of rocks during the erosion process. Build a Google
Slide to demonstrate what you’ve learned.
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
During Rock-n-Roll Investigating the Weathering of Rocks lab, collaborate with your lab partners take pictures of your rocks before, during and after the experiment to demonstrate the changes of rock formations as they erode.
Collaborate with your lab partners by using your pictures and the information you learned in lab to create a Google Slide document with pictures and explanations of how rock formation changed during the experiment.
Use the link below to create your Google Slide
This task uses:
Google Slide
Learning Objective(s):
Describe the differences between mechanical and chemical erosion of rocks
TEACHER NOTES: The teacher needs to have a Google Account, create a Google Slide presentation permissions should be set to allow anyone with a link can edit with no log-in. Post the link in your teacher Blackboard.
Teacher’s name/ Ron Savoie

Grade Level/Subject: 8th Grade Earth Science
Special Directions/Considerations: N/A
Activity Evaluation: Properly explaining the differences between mechanical and chemical erosion of rocks
Prerequisites for students: Student should be familiar with Google Slides.

4. R
Rocks, Camera, Action
You will share your knowledge about the weathering of rocks by collaborating with other students in class to make a video that properly explains the erosion of rocks in the weathering process. You will post your video on Padlet for other students to post comments about your video.
REDEFINITION Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
Work in assigned groups to make a video using an iPad that properly explains the erosion of rocks in the weathering process.
Go to Mr. Savoie’s Blackboard and click the link to Padlet. Post video on Padlet to allow other classes to comment on the accuracy and quality of your video about the erosion of rocks in the weathering process.
This task uses:
Padlet
Learning Objective(s):
Properly explain the erosion process of rocks.
TEACHER NOTES: Teacher will need to create a Padlet account in advance and post on teacher Blackboard.
