Drifting Around

video clip of this workshop, from the Play it Again Video.
We know an amazing amount about other planets in the solar system, but what about our own planet? In this workshop we'll look deep into the Earth and out into the clouds, as we travel through the rock and water cycles.
Use the scientific process to solve a mysterious puzzle, and then play a game where you travel through the water cycle as a water molecule, tracing your journey through the nine major areas on the Earth where we find water. Create a cloud in a jar, discover for yourself what percentage of the Earth is covered in ocean and then make sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rock…out of chocolate! Join in on this delicious exploration of our own planet Earth!
The Just Drifting Around workshop covers learning outcomes in the K-7 Science curriculum, and especially matches Grades 2 and 7 Earth Science topics.
This Engaging Science teacher workshop lasts approximately 90 minutes and teachers will leave with interesting ideas and hands-on activities to implement into the classroom. Each participant will receive a free copy of the Just Drifting Around Playbook that is full of activities demonstrated in the workshop, along with additional activities, blackline masters and comprehensive explanations.
