Three TPACK Questions

Content: Science 5th grade
Standard 2 -- Students will understand that volcanoes, earthquakes, uplift, weathering and erosion reshape the Earth's surface.

Objective1 -- Describe how weathering and erosion change the Earth's surface

b -- Describe how geological features (eg. valleys, canyons, buttes, arches) are changes through erosion (eg. waves, wind, glaciers, gravity, running water)

I chose this topic because I love to study natural wonders and how nature shapes the earth using different kinds of force.

Pedagogy:
I will be teaching 3 aspects of erosion and the effects it has on the earth. This is an exciting concept to teach 5th graders because they are adventuresome and like the outdoors -- viewing cool things that nature, not man, has created using a type of natural force.

Technology:
I like the idea of a virtual tour as my technology to show the students actual places that they may not have seen, or may have an opportunity to share with the class if they have. This creates a level of excitement as they see how nature through erosion shapes the earth into these amazing creations. Google Earth creates a reality that pictures, books or even movies really can't express. Google Earth puts you right there.
