Module 003 1

This app lesson plan aims to develop eighth grade science students' understanding of geology. It contains 3 steps where students will first use the EarthViewer app to compare how Earth has changed over time and research a specific eon. Next, they will use the DeepTime app to learn more about the eras, periods and epochs of the eon they chose. Finally, students will create an Adobe Spark presentation to share what they've learned about defining characteristics of Earth during that time period, including climate and plate tectonics.

Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas. Please look at the
sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.
· There must be one app per step.
· Android apps can be used as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
· Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
· Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
· Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the App Store web
link area.
· The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Title: Step up to the (Tectonic) Plate

Relevant SC Standards:
Standard 8.E.5: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the processes that
alter the structure of Earth and provide resources for life on the planet.

Description:
This app lesson will develop eighth grade science students’ comprehension and
knowledge of geology.

Instructional Objective:
Students will be able to describe and discuss the processes that contributed to altering
the Earth’s surface over time.

Step 1: Students will use the app EarthViewer to compare the drastic ways in which
Earth has changed over time. After comparing with modern day Earth, students will
pick an eon to do more research on.

Step 2: Students will use the app DeepTime to research the eon they chose in the
previous step. They will learn about the eras, systems (periods), series (epochs), and
stages within that eon.

Step 3: Students will use Adobe Spark Page to create a presentation on the research
they have done. Students will describe the defining characteristics of Earth during the
eon they chose, including climate, plate tectonics, etc.
