Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How do we use the Earth's resources?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. All resources come form come from the Earth's crust or the atmosphere.
  2. Coal contains more energy per kilogram than wood as it is a concentrated form of wood without moisture in.
  3. Crude oil (and natural gas) is formed when sea creatures (mainly microscopic) are compressed under layers of sediment.
  4. Coal is a sedimentary rock formed when trees and plants are compressed under layers of sediment. (The highest grade coal, Anthracite, is actually metamorphic)
  5. Crude oil can be processed into fuels, chemicals and plastics.
  6. Metals are dug up from the earth in the form of ores.
  7. Ceramics are made from muds that are dug up from the earth
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. Where are the resources we rely upon extracted from?
    All resources we use come from come from the Earth's crust or the atmosphere.
  2. Why is coal a better source of energy than wood?
    Coal contains more energy per kilogram than wood as it is a concentrated form of wood without moisture in.
  3. How is crude oil formed?
    Crude oil (and natural gas) is formed when sea creatures (mainly microscopic) are compressed under layers of sediment
  4. How is coal formed?
    Coal is a sedimentary rock formed when trees and plants are compressed under layers of sediment. (The highest grade coal, Anthracite, is actually metamorphic)
  5. What uses do we have for crude oil?
    Crude oil can be processed into fuels, chemicals and plastics.
  6. How are most metals obtained from the Earth's crust?
    Most metals are dug up from the earths crust in the form of ores.
  7. What is a ceramic material?
    Ceramics are made from muds, dug up from the Earth's crust.

Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
