“Can your child explain how rain (atmosphere) falls on mountains (geosphere), flows into rivers (hydrosphere), and provides water for plants and animals (biosphere)?”
Full guide and materials
- Activity. Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems
What to notice. Name the four Earth systems: geosphere (rock/land), hydrosphere (water), atmosphere (air), biosphere (living things) • Describe at least two interactions between different Earth systems with examples • Create or interpret a model showing how a change in one system affects others
