This document outlines a lesson plan about how humans organize themselves around changing landforms. It discusses the formation of the Earth and how plate tectonics, erosion, glaciers, volcanoes, and earthquakes shape the land over time. It also explores why humans live where they live near coastlines and natural resources, and how changing landforms like erosion and climate change can affect human communities and homes. The lesson aims to help students understand how natural elements influence where communities are located and how humans must adapt to shifting land over periods of time.

Week Concept Vocabulary
Week 1 Tuning In:
What do students already
know about the formation of the Earth? What do they want to know? Week 2 Formation of the Earth and Layers of the Earth Plate Tectonics Landforms -Convergent -Divergent -Transform Erosion Glaciers Volcanoes Earthquakes
Week 3 Where do humans live? Coastline
Natural Resources
Week 4 Living near landforms that Coastline
are changing Erosion
Week 5 How changing landforms are Climate Change
affecting humans’ and their Flooding homes Week 6 Final Project Showcase
