1. Startklaar

Bij de start van iedere les verwelkomt de docent de leerlingen bij de ingang van de deur, noemt leerlingen bij naam, maakt oogcontact en besteedt aandacht aan hun welbevinden. De docent geeft het goede voorbeeld en spreekt hoge verwachtingen uit voor het verloop van de les door succescriteria op gewenst gedrag, schooltaal en effectief leren te benoemen. De leerlingen zijn startklaar: ingelogd in LessonUp, telefoons opgeborgen in het Zakkie, en JdW-map op tafel.

System Earth

• What are systems?
• Why is the Earth considered a system?
• Name 2 other sytems 

System Earth

Geofactors = ?

System Earth

Geofactors = the natural factors that shape and influence Earth's physical environment. These factors influence each other. If one changes, another changes too. 

e.g.: water, plants, soil, air, humans, climate...

Watch the video and write down: 

1. Connect: How does this video connect to what you already know or have experienced?
2. Extend: What new ideas or insights does it give you?
3. Challenge: What questions or puzzles does it raise? What challenges your thinking?

The atmosphere is...

How would you finish this definition? 

The Earth's atmosphere is...

• A layer of gases and liquids around the earth. 
• Held there by gravity 

The structure of the Earth's Atmosphere

(Exosphere) = Outermost layer, where atmosphere merges into space; satellites orbit here

Thermosphere = Very hot layer; aurora orbit here, International Space Station orbits here

Mesosphere = Coldest layer; meteors burn up here.

Stratosphere =Contains the ozone layer; where some jets fly.

Troposphere = Lowest layer; where weather and clouds occur; airplanes usually fly here.
