The Earth System




We just explained why East Ferris is getting less rain than West Ferris. Today, we’ll read a book that can help them think about the situation on Ferris Island in a different way - by thinking about what caused the dinosaurs to go extinct many millions of years ago!

Read - Dinosaur Extinction

Read the text - and write gist statements for each section

Review


A system is a group of parts that work together.
Earth is a system because it has different parts that interact and work together - the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere.
  • Hydrosphere - all of the liquid water and ice Earth
  • Biosphere - all the living things on Earth
  • Atmosphere - the air that surrounds Earth
  • Geosphere - the solid part of Earth
For each example, choose if this is part of the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere or geosphere.

Labeling Earth System Interactions



Now we will add to a diagram of Ferris Island to show how the parts of the Earth system (atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, biosphere) interact to create the rain shadow effect.
