Friday Aug 29, 2014 Tuesday, Sept 2, 2014 Friday Aug 29, 2014 Tuesday, Sept 2, 2014 • Earth’s Structure • Earth’s Structure and Rock Cycle Earth’s Layers Essential Question: Explain the different types of rocks found on Earth’s surface and some physical results of geologic change on the Earth’s surface? Give examples. Rock Cycle • Warm Up: Using textbook p.9-10. Answer the following questions in complete sentences: • Explain how Earth is made up of materials with different densities. • How can scientists explore the Earth’s interior without seeing it? Igneous Rock Sedimentary Rock Homework: Answer the essential questions on pages 1 of your notebook. Metamorphic Rock Page 3 Page 4

  11. Rock Group Jigsaw Instruction Sheet Rubric Goal: Present the required information in approximately 4 minutes. READ ALL RESOURCES. TAKE NOTES AND DETERMINE THE IMPORTANT DETAILS TO TEACH TO THE CLASS Characteristics- clear description, diagrams, labeled, color Change over time - how it changes (rock or structure of the Earth) Supporting Details - fossils, crystals, remains of organisms, energy (radioactivity from Earth’s core) Key Vocabulary (suggested to use): cementation, minerals, crystallization, fossils, heat, pressure, melting, temperature, core, crust, mantle, asthenosphere, layer, erosion, sediment, change over time, deposition, lava, magma, tectonic plate

  12. Wednesday, September 3, 2014 Thursday, September 4, 2014 Wednesday, September 3, 2014 Thursday, September 4, 2014 Earth Structure Earth Structure and Changes Essential Question: What is earth’s structure and some physical results of geologic change on the Earth’s surface? Give examples. • Notes from group presentations • Layers of Earth • Rock Cycle • Igneous • Metamorphic • Sedimentary • ======================== • Theory of Uniformitarianism(3:20) • & • Five Ways Earth Changes(11:00) • DE Video Clips Notes Warm Up: The stem GEO- means Earth. Make a list of as many words that you can think of that involve the stem GEO-. Homework: 1. Bring in at least one picture representing at least one geologic change. I.D. when, where, how (Weathering, Erosion, land mass motion, volcanic eruption, Earth crust movement) 2. Answer the essential question from page 3 of your NB Page 6 Page 5

  13. Think-pair-share What do you think you’re looking at? What kind of rock is in the picture? What happened that may have caused this to happen?
