Students will investigate Earth systems by making observations in nature and identifying systems in the natural world. Ultimately, the students will understand how the four spheres/systems on Earth (biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and atmosphere) are interconnected.

Build A Bottle Ecosystem! Grades: K - 6 Time: 1 hour to assemble. Lesson summary: Discover how ecosystems work. What’s the big idea? • What’s an ecosystem? • What role do plants and water play in ecosystems? Learn how ecosystems work by making a bottle ecosystem. Teacher background: Outcomes or purpose:
Children can learn about the different building blocks that it takes to create a flourishing ecosystem by creating a miniature version of the natural world. With this biosphere activity, students can use different plants, seeds and soil to create something that will be teeming with life.
Looking for biosphere teaching ideas? Prepare your students before launching into Earth’s spheres. First, kids must understand photosynthesis. Second, teach how energy and matter move through an ecosystem. Then they’ll be ready to analyze interactions between the spheres.
Students view a variety of models of showing interaction of Earth’s spheres in the Generation Genius video. Earth’s major systems are the geosphere (solid and molten rock, soil, and sediments), the hydrosphere (water and ice), the atmosphere (air), and the biosphere (living things, including humans).
These NASA lessons support Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and three dimensional learning of the Earth System. These include activities where students interact with NASA maps, graphs, and datasets from the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and the earth system.
Fizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen.
