Hey guys! Mr. Clark here.
Today, let’s draw our home: THE EARTH!
THE EARTH is a very special planet that’s
over 4.5 billion years old and is home to
about 8.7 million different animal species;
including us – humans!
Now, how might you describe the shape of THE
EARTH?
A SPHERE is a ball-shaped object that I’ll draw here as a big circle, containing all of THE EARTH’S Materials!
Yeah that looks like earth, but what is THE
EARTH made of?
EARTH is made up of four systems: the atmoSPHERE,
the hydroSPHERE, the geoSPHERE and the bioSPHERE.
You may notice the root word SPHERE in each of these systems.
The PREFIX gives us clues as to what each system includes.
Each system is important, and is built
of different natural features.
What things can you think of that make up THE EARTH?
The ATMOSPHERE is a system made up of gases surrounding THE EARTH. Like Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide!
Most of the components that make up the atmosphere we cannot see, but they are important parts of THE EARTH.
We need the air in the atmosphere
to breathe!
The HYDROSPHERE is a system of all the waters
on THE EARTH, such as lakes and oceans!
All livings things need water to live; it’s
one of the key building blocks of life!
We can also find water in the air when it rains
or snows.
The GEOSPHERE is the system that contains
THE EARTH’S interior, rocks and minerals.
Rocks come in many shapes and sizes. Mountains
are enormous rocks sticking out of THE EARTH.
Sand is made of rocks too!
And the bioSPHERE is the system composed of all the living organisms on our planet.
Like plants, animals – even bacteria!
We humans are also a part of the biosphere, which means we too are important to THE EARTH. Pretty
cool, huh?
THE EARTH’S four systems consist of natural features that were not made or altered by us humans, but exist naturally.
Look around outside, what things can you see that are natural features?
These four special systems work together
and contribute to make our very unique planet: THE EARTH.
We’re very lucky to live here on THE EARTH, so we should love it and do what we can to protect it.
Alright! We drew THE EARTH!!
