SCIENCE: REVIEW FOR YOUR TESTJanuary 30 (A day)

Feb 2 (B day)

REVIEW FOR TESTSit in your assigned seats and review notes on plate tectonics quietly at your desk….

Make sure you have a sharp pencil….

A DAY STUDENTS ONLY

In a moment, you will take your assessment on Plate tectonics with one of the 3 science teachers

After testing you will return to your normal science class to finish the block

We will transition into the next standard 6E23 Rock Cycle

WHAT ARE THE 3 TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES….

Divergent Plate BoundariesConvergent Plate BoundariesTransform Plate Boundaries

VOLUNTEERS…

3 types: Primary waves, Secondary waves, Surface waves Fastest to slowest: primary, secondary, surface

NOW ONTO PANGAEA…

How does this map compare with the world’s continents today?

EVIDENCE FOR THEORY OF PLATE TECTONICS

1. Fit of the Continents 2. Fossil Evidence 3. Identical Rock and Soil Deposits

PANGAEA – THE SUPER CONTINENT

Earth’s interior and plate tectonics http://

Watch the video and write down 3 facts you hear from the video

Be ready to share….

TEST REMINDERS There is ABSOLUTELY NO TALKING

DURING TESTS If you talk, your test will be taken

immediately and you will receive a 0! (failing grade)

1. Passing out folders 2. Sitting up folders 3. Taking tests 4. Finishing your test (close everything

up inside your folder and look through your notebook to make sure all activities are complete!)

WARM UP Where do rocks come from?

VOLUNTEERS? Where do rocks come from? How many different types of rock exist? Can rocks change, and if so, how?

TESTS BACK! You will receive your test back Please track this test on your data tracking

sheet Objective: Plate Tectonics

HOMEWORK CHECK…

Trade notebooks with your table partner We will now check the Ring of Fire plotting

activity (both sides) and the Pangaea Puzzle

ROCK CYCLE VIDEO Rock cycle video with jelly beans

Listen to the video and write down the 3 different types of rock

3 TYPES OF ROCKS….

Igneous RocksSedimentary Rocks

Metamorphic Rocks

INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK Q3

Add entry to Table of Contents 6.E.2.3 The Rock Cycle and Soil Notes

Assign the next number

INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK Q2

Label Next Available Page: 6.E.2.3 The Rock Cycle and Soil Notes

Number page to match Table of Contents entry

Circle the number

6.E.2.3 STANDARD

Standard6.E.2.3 Explain how the formation of soil is related to the parent rock type and the environment in which it develops.

ROTATION AROUND THE ROOM….

You will count off from 1 -7 The number you count will match the station

you start in …. You will stay in that station until the timer

goes off Write quickly and stay with your group You only move when the timer goes off Does anyone have any questions? You will have 2.5 minutes in each station –

ONLY 2.5 MINUTES!

WRITE IN NOTEBOOKForces deep inside Earth and at the surface slowly build, destroy, and change rocks on the crust.

WRITE IN NOTEBOOKPlate movements start the rock cycle: magma forms (source of igneous rocks)

Plate movements cause crust folding

WRITE IN NOTEBOOKMinerals form as hot magma cools inside the crust, or as hot lava hardens on the surface.

WRITE IN NOTEBOOKMinerals are:the building blocks of all rocks

made by the Earth (not manmade)

not alive (inorganic) found in soils and water too

WRITE IN NOTEBOOKMinerals can be made of:1 element (like gold or silver)compounds of 2 or more elements (quartz and calcite)

WRITE IN NOTEBOOK

Minerals typically form crystals (flat surfaces where the atoms join)

WRITE IN NOTEBOOKWhen some minerals dissolve in water, they leave behind a crystallized solution

ROCK CYCLE VIDEO!Listen to the video and write 3 facts you hear from the video

Be prepared to share afterwards

VOLUNTEERS? 5 facts from the video….

YOU WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING…

ROCK CYCLE – FOLLOW ALONG ON YOUR WORKSHEET. BE SURE TO COLOR AND LABEL AS INDICATED. FILL IN THE DEFINITIONS BELOW THE DIAGRAM AS WELL.

MAGMA – ROCK THAT HAS MELTED UNDER INTENSE HEAT AND PRESSURE

IGNEOUS ROCK – MAGMA OR LAVA THAT HAS COOLED AND SOLIDIFIED (BECOME SOLID)

COMPACTION – SEDIMENTS FORM LAYERS OVER TIME, AND THE LAYERS ARE PRESSED AND CEMENTED TOGETHER.

SEDIMENTARY ROCK – SEDIMENTS THAT HAVE COMPACTED OVER TIME, MAY CONTAIN ORGANIC MATTER AND FOSSILS

THE CYCLE CONTINUES……

CHECK OUR UNDERSTANDINGHow many different types of rock

exist?3 types of rockWhat are the names of these 3

rocks? Igneous, metamorphic, &

sedimentaryDo rocks ever change?Yes, with weathering erosion, heat

and pressure, and meltingCan an igneous rock only change

into a sedimentary rock?Any rock can become any other

rock – it is a cycle
