Earth Science Day 02: Bellwork: Using your foldable from last class, what part of the earth’s layers are included in the asthenosphere and lithosphere? Agenda: - Continuing of foldable notes over the layers of the earth

Q1: Which car has a higher average speed? a car that travelled 40 km in 5 h a car that travelled 150 km in 3 h a car that travelled 400 km in 10 h a car that travelled 1400 km in 20 h SC8.2.2.a DOK 2

Q2: What can be determined by looking at the speedometer of a moving car? direction average speed distance traveled instantaneous speed SC8.2.2.a DOK 1

NeSA-S Review #2 – Math Booster Earth is close to being a sphere, but it is actually an oblate ellipsoid. The centrifugal force resulting from spinning on its axis causes Earth to bulge outward at the equator. This bulge is big enough to be measured. The radius of Earth at the poles is 6357 km, and the radius of Earth at the equator is 6378 km. Calculate the difference in Earth’s radius at the equator and at the poles? Calculate the difference in Earth’s diameter at the equator and that the poles?

Today come up with an example of each of you terms Greek and Latin Greek Term Meaning Example duct- to lead hemi- half con- together lith- rock sub- under tect- to cover Today come up with an example of each of you terms

Objectives I will know what plate tectonics are and where they are seen on earth I will be able to analyze the structure and relationships among plate boundaries.

Earth Science Day 02: Bell Work Answers Bellwork: What part of the earth’s layers are included in the asthenosphere and lithosphere?

A1: Which car has a higher average speed? A. a car that travelled 40 km in 5 h 40 km/5 h is a speed of 8 km/h, which is not the highest. B. a car that travelled 150 km in 3 h 150 km/3 h is a speed of 50 km/h, which is not the highest. C. a car that travelled 400 km in 10 h 400 km/10 h is a speed of 40 km/h, which is not the highest. D. a car that travelled 1400 km in 20 h 1400 km/20 h is a speed of 70 km/h, which is the highest. SC8.2.2.a DOK 2

A2: What can be determined by looking at the speedometer of a moving car? A. direction The direction the car is traveling cannot be determined by the speedometer. B. average speed The speedometer shows the speed of the car at a moment in time, but not the average speed for a trip. C. distance traveled The distance traveled cannot be determined by the speedometer. D. instantaneous speed The speedometer shows the speed of the car at a moment in time or the instantaneous speed. SC8.2.2.a DOK 1

Answer to NeSA-S Review #2 Difference in the radius = 21 km 6378 km – 6357 km = 21km Difference in the diameter = 42 km 2(6378 km) – 2(6357 km) = 42 km) OR 2(21km) = 42 km

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 1 http://www.pbslearningmedia. org/resource/ess05.sci.ess.eart hsys.plateintro/plate-tectonics- an-introduction/ http://www.pbslearningmedia. org/resource/ess05.sci.ess.eart hsys.wegener2/plate-tectonics- further-evidence/ Find three intriguing facts from the videos. After the videos are complete, turn and talk to a partner for 45 sec about your favorite video fact.

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 2 Lay your paper hamburger style so that the earth globes are on the right side of the page. Cut out the two pictures on the right and the five pictures on the far left. Students will need 5 post-it notes and the Earth foldable students prints for today’s activities. It is a power point doc.

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 3 Use page 677 of the text book to label the picture. Up to teacher discretion as to the depth of detail included on the picture but should include dates and continental labels.

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 4 Glue the map to the bottom right of the middle page. Title it Earth’s Plate Boundaries. Stack the five post-it notes from the top to the bottom on the left of the page. Glue the “volcano/earthquake” picture to the first post-it and title it Plate Boundaries.

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 5 Label the tabs of the post-it Should be color coded as stated Convergent (subduction) [red] Convergent (mountain building) [red] Divergent [green] Transform [blue]

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 6 Next cut out the pictures of the four types of boundaries. Glue to the top portion of each post-it note section. Convergent (subduction) Picture A Convergent (mountain building) Picture B Divergent Picture C Transform Picture D

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 7 Next turn to page 682 of your text book. Using the colors given in the text book, trace the different plate boundaries.

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 8 Now that you have learned about the plates, label the top pictures with either convergent, transform, or divergent and color them the correct color.

Continental Drift Foldable Notes 9 In space above the plate boundaries and to the left of the continental drift, title it PLATE TECTONICS AND CONTINENTAL DRIFT In this space you will summarize plate tectonics and continental drift by reading from your text book (page 677). If needed you may go onto the back side of your foldable.

Next you will be completing: Pangaea Puzzle

Exit Slip: Explain Continental Drift.
