1. Get a computer then answer the following question. What is the difference between a convergent, divergent, and transform plate movements.

2. Sept. 17, 2013 Science Fair Rules/ Forms Finish Web quest and take quiz turn into bin Work on research for science fair while everyone finishes Reading Assignment & questions Due Wednesday!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9j1xGax YzYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9j1xGax YzY

3. This Week Science Fair Proposals due Friday –Working on Monday & Tuesday!! Notes on position, density and composition of Earth Convection Lab & Pangea Activity

4. Science Fair Your research plan should reflect what was actually done for your project and the details should match what is written in your abstract. Must include: –Question or problem being addressed –Hypothesis/Engineering Goals –Detailed description of methods or procedures –Please note that data is not to be included –Bibliography minimum of 5

7. Sept. 18 Density= Mass/Volume Out of the four layers of the earth. Which do you think would be the most dense? Which would be the least dense?

8. Today Interactive Notes Earth Layers Reading Due TOMORROW!!

9. What is the composition of the Earth? Earth composed of rock ¾ of the earth’s surface is covered by a thin layer of water (some frozen) The Atmosphere (thin layer of gas) surrounds the entire planet

10. Earth is made of 4 different layers: – Inner core – Outer core – Mantle – crust

11. What are characteristics of the Inner Core? Solid Surrounded by a liquid outer core Unattached to the mantle Iron metal- mostly the element Nickel The inner layer with the rotational motion of the Earth create a force field- AKA a magnetic field

12. What are characteristics of the Outer Core? Liquid Layer is dense

13. What are characteristics of the Mantle? Suspended by the molten (liquid) outer core Almost floats on top Thick Hot

14. What are characteristics of the Crust? Continental and oceanic plates that slowly move and change positions throughout geologic time.

15. Sept.20 Can heat move? If it can, how does it move? When you heat a container of water, does the water move or stay still?

16. IDENTIFY as Convection, Conduction, Radiation 1 2 3

17. Sept. 26 Finish your Pangea Activity Get out your Dynamic Earth Packet – TONS OF PEOPLE DIDN’T TURN IN SO I NEED TO PUT IN YOUR GRADES!!! PROGRESS REPORTS AT THE END OF CLASS

18. Today Finish Pangea Activity Notes What you can play in your free times

19. What are characteristics of Plates? Plates move constantly at rates of centimeters per year as a result of the movements in the mantle. This results in major geological events: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building

21. What are the three movements of plates? – Convergent= collide – Divergent= divide – Scrap alongside each other

25. How do scientist know all this? Seismologists have studied seismic waves.. Waves have characteristics: frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and speed. During an earthquake, energy is released into Earth as: Primary, Secondary, and Surface waves.
