1.E.4A.1 Analyze and interpret data from observations and measurements to compare the properties of Earth materials (including rocks, soils, sand, and water).
Idea:
​Have students study a picture of the Earth, such as the one below OR a globe.   Discuss how the globe represents land and water.   "If all of the land were together, how much of the Earth would be land?  water?    Give them a circle on a sheet of paper.  Ask students to color the circle in a similar proportion to what they think would represent land and water.

1.E.4A.2 Develop and use models (such as drawings or maps) to describe patterns in the distribution of land and water on Earth and classify bodies of water (including oceans, rivers, stream, lakes, and ponds)
Idea:
  • Show the map to students.  
  • Orient them to where they are.  Ask then what they notice. They may notice the high hills (mountains) in the NW, and they may notice the lower less rocky areas along the coast.  
  • Talk to them about the beach, that it is the ocean.  
  • Tell them how water flows downhill to the ocean.  
  • Notice the blue bodies of water. Those in the mountains flow towards the ocean.   Which bodies of water are lakes, rivers? Why wouldn't creeks and streams show up on this map?  
  • Why would the ocean be salty, but other bodies of water are freshwater.
