Cycling of Matter through Earth's Spheres
Students will learn about the atmosphere and what causes it to form layers. Then, students will identify how the atmosphere interacts with the geosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Students design an investigation and use equipment to collect evidence and determine if the hydrosphere cycles through the geosphere. Students will analyze pictures of various locations in Arizona and draw a model to show how matter cycles and energy flows back and forth through the spheres.

This project takes place over approximately 10 days (2 weeks), 60 minutes per day. Students work in groups to cook in a solar oven, but parts of the project can be done individually as well. Students
Students will learn the factors that cause climate change. They will learn that the increase in temperature can affect human populations.
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency
