Scale Model of Earth Work together to complete Part A by the end of the period

Closing In your own words, what is a scale model?

Warm Up Take out a lined sheet of paper and title it “Period 1 PRIDE” On your lined sheet of paper, respond to the following questions in paragraph form: What does PRIDE stand for? How have you demonstrated PRIDE in this classroom? When have you failed to demonstrate PRIDE in this classroom? What will you do this quarter to further demonstrate PRIDE in this classroom? Sign your name at the bottom of your sheet. It will be turned in

Plate Tectonics Map Activity Cut along the THICK lines of your puzzle When you finish cutting all of the THICK lines, rearrange your pieces to make a rectangular shaped map Glue your map onto a manila folder Shade your land masses green and oceans blue Using page 712 and 713 in your textbook, label the plate names and plate direction Answer your analysis questions

Plate Tectonics Notes Converging—plates collide Diverging---plates move apart Transform—plates slide/grind past one another

Closing The deepest humans have ever drilled into the Earth’s crust is about 2 km. What layer(s) have they observed? Knowing this, how do you think scientists gained understanding of Earth’s interior?

Closing Pangea was a supercontinent that formed 300 million years ago and began to break apart 200 million years ago. Using what we learned today about plate tectonics: What main movement occurred to form Pangea? What main movement occurred to break Pangea?

Warm Up Today you will continue cutting out the pieces to your plate tectonics puzzle. What do you think each piece of the puzzle represents?

Tips for Writing Summaries Don’t write “This article says…” Be concise! Don’t jump from past to present tense Write only in 1 tense! Don’t use vague words such as “things” or “stuff” Replace these words with the appropriate noun or pronoun! Don’t use title as topic sentence Make sure topic sentence covers MAIN IDEA Don’t plagiarize/copy sentences from article or use quoted material Use own words! Write one summary sentence for each paragraph Realign these sentences to improve flow Use transitions! Proofread writing with intent to revise Read it in your head. If something sounds “off,” rephrase it

Warm Up Why is the inner core solid while the outer core is liquid? Same question rephrased: why is the inner core more dense than the outer core? Think about how diamonds are formed

Warm Up As scientists try to dig deeper into the Earth’s interior, they often drill through the bottom of the ocean. Why might scientists choose to drill into ocean crust rather than continental crust?
