2. Objectives Students can: KNOW: the branches of Earth Science and the structure of the Earth UNDERSTAND: that the different parts of the Earth’s structure interact with one another BE ABLE TO: Describe how the spheres of the Earth play a role in our everyday lives

3. What is Earth Science? Earth Science is the study of the Earth’s place in the Universe

4. Five Branches 1.Geology 2.Oceanography 3.Meteorology 4.Astronomy 5.Environmental Science

5. Geology  The Study of the Earth  Geologists  Deal with the composition of Earth materials, structures, and processes.  Also look at the organisms of the planet and how the planet has changed over time. From Geology.com

6. Oceanography  Science of the Oceans  Oceanographers  Look at the composition, movement, organisms and processes of the oceans  Study oceans as a resource and work to protect it from human impact From TCC.FL.EDU

7. Meteorology  Study of Earth’s Atmosphere  Meteorologists  Look at how processes in the atmosphere affect the weather and climate From: FAA.ITU.EDU

8. Astronomy  Study of the Universe  Astronomers  Use knowledge about the Earth’s materials, processes and history to understand other planets From CreationWiki.org

9. Environmental Science  Study of Earth’s environment and resources  Environmental Scientists  Determine the effects of human activities on Earth’s land, air, water and living things  What do you think the picture represents? From Warrenhills.org

10. TTYP Work with your elbow partner to complete your notes about the Introduction to Earth Science

11. 7 th & 8 th Periods – Remainder of Class  Using your science notebooks, read pages 16-24 in the red science book (Prentice Hall Earth Science) and take notes.  If there are not enough red books, they use the purple book (Concepts and Challenges Earth Science) and do the same thing, but the pages are 18-23 and 32-35.  We will go over note taking skills this week so just try their best to capture the important information in the assigned reading.

12. Exploring Earth’s Surface Introduction: How would you describe Guam’s landscape to someone who has never been here before? 1.Write at least 5 things about Guam’s environment you would tell the stranger

13. Cornell Notes

14. For your science notebook

15. Topography -Tells us the shape of the land -Topography of an area is determined by the area’s elevation, relief and landforms

16. Topography  Elevation – height above sea level of a point on Earth’s surface  Relief – difference in elevation between highest and lowest parts of an area  Landforms - feature of topography formed by processes that shape Earth’s surface

17. Types of Landforms There are THREE main types of landforms: 1.Plains – made up of flat or gently rolling land w/ low relief 2.Mountains - high elevation and high relief 3.Plateaus – high elevation and a level surface

19. Note- taking Check TAKE THIS TIME TO COMPLETE YOUR NOTES ABOUT EARTH’S SURFACE

20. Activity 1.Think about the topography of our island 2.Draw a picture of Guam and label its topography 3.Make sure you label elevation, relief and landforms on your picture 4.Make your picture look nice!

21. Second Quarter Project 1.Review 2.How will the project be graded 3.Due dates 4.Assign topics: Spheres of the Earth or Layers of the Earth

22. Rubric

23. Due Dates BLUE DAY (2,3 & 4): NOVEMBER 30, 2015 GRAY DAY (7,8): DECEMBER 1, 2015

24. TOPICS LAST NAMES A-L: SPHERES OF THE EARTH LAST NAMES M-Z: LAYERS OF THE EARTH

25. Earth’s Four Spheres

27. Review of Earth’s Spheres 1.Trace your hand in your science notebook 2.Minus your thumb, in each finger write: - one sphere of the Earth and how you interact with this sphere everyday 3.On your thumb, write down: how do the things in #2 impact your life?

28. TTYP HOW DO YOU THINK THE SPHERES OF THE EARTH INTERACT?

29. Activity 1.Think about the topography of our island 2.Draw a picture of Guam and label its topography and spheres of the Earth 3.Make sure you label elevation, relief, landforms and spheres on your picture 4.Make your picture look nice!

30. Earth’s Structure

31. Geology  Review: what is geology?  Forces beneath the surface have constantly changed the Earth over time  These forces are divided into 2 groups:  1. Constructive: shape the surface by building mountains and land areas  2. Destructive: slowly wear away mountains and other features of the surface

32. Foldable 1.Color the layers of the Earth: Inner Core - red Upper Mantle – yellow Outer Core – red orange Oceanic crust – dark brown Lower Mantle - orange Continental crust – light brown Middle Mantle - light orange Ocean - blue 2. Fill out the four boxes about the layers of the Earth using pages 108-114 3. Cut out the layers! Also, cut out the 12 terms and the four boxes

33. Foldable 4.Glue the layers on a new page of your science notebook 5.Label the layers with the boxes and terms.
