Earth Science - Spring (Period 4) Assignments

Here is a copy of our Greenhouse Gases Effects Webquest, as well as a link to a site with the charts and graphics referred to in the webquest.

 

Here is the presentation for our notes on Metamorphic Rocks, as well as Igneous Rocks and Sedimentary Rocks.  Your homework for the weekend is to (1) copy the Metamorphic Rocks notes and (2) make sure your Igneous and Sedimentary Rocks notes are completed.  We will have an open-notes quiz on these three presentations on Tuesday when you get back.

Here is the presentation and directions for our next project.  You're going to do a little Igneous Rock Hunt, create a google slide according to the directions on this presentation, and I'm going to put them all together in a class Google Slides presentation.  Rocks roll!

 

Each slide is worth 20 project points.  And yes, you may make more than one slide, provided that there are no duplicate rocks for the presentation.

Here is your 3.2 Presentation - Igneous Rocks.  Please copy the notes from the presentation.

Youse guys did so well today!  I am very proud of you.

Attached is our Google presentation for The Rock Cycle.  Your homework is to complete the notes. (We only have one more slide!)  We will be having an open-notes quiz on this presentation to keep you accountable.  8-)

Here is your study guide for our Chapter Test - Earthquakes.  You will also get a copy in class on Monday.  Please note that the file is two half-pages of the same information.

Here is the file for your Earthquakes Webquest.  We will be working on it for Friday, 4/13/18 and 4/16/18.  You may open it, save a copy to your own Google Drive, and type your answers directly on the page.  Then share the completed file to me!

Here is our Google Slides file:  Chapter 8:  Earthquakes.  It includes all notes for the entire chapter!

 

THIS IS YOUR SPRING BREAK HOMEWORK.  Bring your notebook home, and copy all these notes into a new section, using Cornell Notes-style format.  If you do this over the break, we will have some time to do some fun activities and models after we come back!  To keep you accountable, we will be having an open-notes quiz on this chapter on the day we return.

Here is Bill Nye the Science Guy - Earthquakes .

Remember those that "block" of vocabulary terms for Rock Deformation?  You created either a glossary or flash cards for them?  Here's the next step.

 

On a Google Docs document, you will:

 

List each term and paste a pic from an online source next to it.  The pic should be an example of that term.  For example:  

 

 

 

Make the picture small enough to fit on an index card!  And the terms/pics have a couple of spaces between them so they're easy to cut out.  We're going to print these out and make a identification game of them.

 

NOTE:  If I print them out, they will have to be in black and white.  If you don't tell me that you're going to be printing them out yourself, I will do it for you.  Make sure to put your name in the document itself!  That way I can get yours back to you.

 

SHARE THE DOCUMENT WITH ME!  Title = Rock Deformation Term Pics/ YourName

Here are the two presentations you have or will be taking notes from:  8.1 Rock Deformation and 8.2 Mountains

Here is the electronic file for our current foldable - Layers of Earth.    Be careful to read - and follow! - the directions on the second sheet.

 

 

We are going to explore plate boundaries and actions for the next two days.  First, click onto his link and watch BBC Earth - Plate Tectonics .  (The clip is short but very informative, so you may like to watch it more than once.)

 

Next, you will review the attached Google Slides presentations and take notes in your Science Note Book.

Here is the Prezi for our first CNotes of the Semester:  

 

 

Attached is a transcript of the Prezi.

Here is your research and instruction packet for the Planet/Satellite presentation we will be working on for the rest of the week.
