6 6 Earth Structures How do Earth s systems interact? SC.6.N.1.1, SC.6.N.3.4, SC.6.E.7.4 You ve learned about the rock cycle and the water cycle. These are just two examples of how Earth systems work together. Each system interacts with the others to help maintain an ecological balance on Earth. What happens if one system is disrupted? Ask a Question How does a change in one system affect other systems? How can you model interactions among Earth systems? Materials beaker water lamp terrarium small fan sand Safety Make Observations 1. Read and complete a lab safety form. 2. Think about Earth s four systems and how they interact with each other. Describe a real-world scenario that shows these interactions. The photos in your textbook show examples of real-world scenarios. 3. Use the materials listed, or make a list of your own materials. Then, design a model of your scenario. Think about the following as you plan your model: How can you represent each of Earth s systems? How will you show the systems interacting? Will your model be self-contained or open to the air? Study Guide Chapter Review Benchmark Practice Our Planet Earth 47

7 Big Idea Lab continued 4. After your teacher approves your design, build your model according to your design plans. Form a Hypothesis 5. After building your model, formulate a hypothesis on how a change in one system might affect the other systems. Benchmark Practice Chapter Review Study Guide Test Your Hypothesis 6. Add or take away something in your model to cause one system to change. Is the change realistic? Could this happen in real life? 7. Observe and record the results immediately after the change occurs. Examine your model again on the following day. Be sure to record the results. Analyze and Conclude 8. Identify Which parts of your model represent each system? 48 Our Planet Earth

8 Big Idea Lab continued 9. Summarize how the change you made to one system affected the others. 10. Interpret Was the change you modeled helpful or harmful? Was it caused by human activities or natural events? Explain. 11. The Big Idea Earth is sometimes described as a rocky planet. Based on what you observed in this lab, does that statement accurately describe Earth? Why or why not? Communicate Your Results Take your classmates on a tour of your model. Point out each Earth system, explain your hypothesis, recreate the change you introduced, and describe your results. Invite your classmates to ask questions and offer suggestions about improving your model. Extension Remember to use scientific methods. Make Observations Ask a Question Form a Hypothesis Test your Hypothesis Analyze and Conclude Communicate Results Conduct research to locate a place where the change you observed in your model has occurred. Find out what impact it had on the living things in the area. Determine if the change is still impacting life in the area. Study Guide Chapter Review Benchmark Practice Our Planet Earth 49
