104. Lesson Plan - Earth Day Teaching plan for teachers of grades 4 6. Includes contact information for organizations that offer materials, information, and projects for protecting http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlresources/units/Byrnes-celebrations/Earth Day- H

Mini-Unit Subtopic: Earth Day Grade levels: 4th through 6th Author: Becky Johnson Background: Our planet is a complex system of land, air, and water. Living things depend on each other and this system for existence. Over the thousands of years since life has existed on the earth, it has undergone some changes. The following are some of these changes: Many species became extinct before mankind made its appearance, however, since humans have existed on the earth, the extinction rate has risen dramatically. More than 4,000 species are currently considered threatened. Plant and animal life become endangered for many reasons. Forest depletion, hunting, and pollution are the most obvious factors. When an animal becomes endangered, dozens of other species can also become endangered. For example, elephants disappeared from southern Africa about 80 years ago because of hunters. Elephants continue to be hunted, mainly for their costly ivory tusks. The endangerment of elephants also has endangered such animals in their area as wildebeest and antelope who live off of the open-grassland which elephants create by eating their way through a jungle. Oxygen-producing trees and plants are being cut down for the purpose of growing foods, grazing livestock, making paper products, etc. The cutting down of forests puts forest wildlife at risk and decreases the oxygen in the air. It also defaces the natural beauty of the planet. Tropical rain forests are often cleared for farming. The soil in these forests are poor in nutrients, and within a few years the crops fail and the land is abandoned. New forests are cleared.

Genographic: Mapping the Human Journey Xpeditions In this Xpeditions lesson, one of a multi-part unit on the Genographic Project, students explore the concept of migration from a historical perspective. Students define migration, focus on the different types of movements of people, examine causes (such as push/pull factors) and examples of migration, and consider the impact of historical events. Students then explore prehistoric migration and evaluate the reasons that caused the first groups to migrate to the Americas. Finally, students explore a more modern example of migration and compare and contrast characteristics of ancient and modern migratory patterns. The Genographic Project, a partnership of the National Geographic Society and IBM, is a five-year study to understand the human journeywhere we came from and how humankind came to populate the planet.
