http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHJKKdEo8TQ Where? What? Why? When? How? Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks

The Mystery of Death Valley L/O: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks All students will describe a place using geographical vocabulary. Most students will reach a conclusion based on evidence presented. Some students will present and justify their ideas using evidence of from the physical world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEOYyjYVkR0 Starter: Find Death Valley in your atlas and write 5 facts about it

Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks

Why does Molly Move? Each group has 28 mystery cards. Read them out to each other. See if you can work out the answer to the question. Write a paragraph to explain your theory. Aim for level 6! Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks

Pit Stop! Death Valley gets wet in Winter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJjp9H2HMng Can you describe the effects on Death Valley? Use geographical words e.g. moist, precipitation, climate, warm, cool… Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks

Level 6 - Detailed Explanation Very simple examples!! Level 4 – Describe ‘Out of the window I can see the place we have break’ Level 5 – Explain ‘Out of the window I can see the break area because it is playing field’ Level 6 – Detailed explanation ‘Out of the window I can see the break area because it is a playing field. The land has been converted for sports use and break use within a school. Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks

Plenary activity Each group to present their theory to the rest of the class What level did they achieve? Did they use geographical vocabulary? Level 4 – Describe Level 5 – Explain Level 6 – Detailed explanation Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks

The Answer?....... http://www.larryo.net/RaceTrack.html One theory makes sense, that sheets of ice help the rocks along on their journeys. During especially wet winters several inches of water can collect on the playa surface, turning it briefly into a lake. On cold nights it's assumed that thin sheets of ice form, locking in rocks. When the strong winds blow through the valley and hit the ice sheets at an angle, the wind pushes with enough force to move the ice and the rocks embedded in it along the slippery surface. Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks

Plenary achievement suggestions I explained why rocks move in Death Valley I used Geographical words in my answer I worked well in a group and thought of a theory to solve the mystery target suggestions I should explain in greater detail why rocks move I should have used more Geographical words in my answer Objective: To investigate what processes could be responsible for the Sliding Rocks
