What educators are saying

My students were engaged as we watched "Kiss The Ground" in Health class. We were also watching with the keen interest in the correlation between human and the earth's health. Thank you for this resource.

— Chelsea B.

Rated 5 out of 5

This worksheet helped my students stay engaged while watching the video and focus on the important ideas. After viewing, we were able to discuss what the students learned from the video and how it connected to our soil and agriculture unit in Environmental Science.

Description

This product is a viewing guide to the Netflix documentary movie “Kiss the Ground” about soil and climate change. Note that this movie guide accompanies the full documentary version (86 minutes)! The viewing guide is 20 questions: some are fill in the blank, some are short short answer questions asking students to record significant statistics from the documentary, reason cause and effect, or relationships between concepts elaborated in the film. Use this worksheet in your Earth or Environmental Science class to keep students engaged and paying attention throughout the movie. This movie is great to use in a unit about climate change, soil, or agriculture and is appropriate for students ranging from middle school to high school age. This document can be printed and used for in-person class or distributed digitally for online learning, in a synchronous or asynchronous lesson. An answer key is provided for teacher use.

NGSSHS-ESS2-5

Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes. Emphasis is on mechanical and chemical investigations with water and a variety of solid materials to provide the evidence for connections between the hydrologic cycle and system interactions commonly known as the rock cycle. Examples of mechanical investigations include stream transportation and deposition using a stream table, erosion using variations in soil moisture content, or frost wedging by the expansion of water as it freezes. Examples of chemical investigations include chemical weathering and recrystallization (by testing the solubility of different materials) or melt generation (by examining how water lowers the melting temperature of most solids).

NGSSMS-ESS2-2

Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying time and spatial scales. Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at time and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events. Examples of geoscience processes include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.

NGSSHS-ESS2-6

Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere. Emphasis is on modeling biogeochemical cycles that include the cycling of carbon through the ocean, atmosphere, soil, and biosphere (including humans), providing the foundation for living organisms.

NGSSMS-ESS2-1

Develop a model to describe the cycling of Earth’s materials and the flow of energy that drives this process. Emphasis is on the processes of melting, crystallization, weathering, deformation, and sedimentation, which act together to form minerals and rocks through the cycling of Earth’s materials. Assessment does not include the identification and naming of minerals.

NGSSHS-ESS2-7

Construct an argument based on evidence about the simultaneous coevolution of Earth's systems and life on Earth. Emphasis is on the dynamic causes, effects, and feedbacks between the biosphere and Earth’s other systems, whereby geoscience factors control the evolution of life, which in turn continuously alters Earth’s surface. Examples include how photosynthetic life altered the atmosphere through the production of oxygen, which in turn increased weathering rates and allowed for the evolution of animal life; how microbial life on land increased the formation of soil, which in turn allowed for the evolution of land plants; or how the evolution of corals created reefs that altered patterns of erosion and deposition along coastlines and provided habitats for the evolution of new life forms. Assessment does not include a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of how the biosphere interacts with all of Earth’s other systems.
