This resource turns human altered landscapes into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 earth science, covering the same NGSS standard from three different angles.
Sample questions include "How does mining impact local ecosystems?", "What effect does mining have on water quality?", and "How do aerial photos help in analyzing urban landscapes?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Earth's Surface, Reading Topographic Maps, Modeling Topographic Features, Satellite and GIS Technology, Earthquake and Volcano Maps, and Tectonic Plate Features, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS2-2.
