2. Sun… the only star in our solar system
Holds all planets in orbit by gravity
Burns hydrogen and helium
Average size that looks large because it is
close to us
Sends light energy to the Earth
(Direct rays cause warm temps and indirect rays cause cool temps.)
We have a tilted Earth that is why some areas get direct rays and other get indirect ray

3. North and South will always have opposite
seasons

4. Sun light………………………………..White light
Decomposers
Tertiary
Consumer or
Apex predator
Consumers
Secondary Consumer:
Carnivore and Omnivore
Primary consumers: Herbivores
Producers: do photosynthesis which
turns light energy into chemical energy
Sun light………………………………..White light

5. Laws of nature:
1.More water = more plants = more consumers
2. Have to always have more herbivores than carnivores.
3. Always have more prey than predators
4. Only 10% of energy moves up to the next level

6. Rotation… cause day and night cycle 24 hours
Revolution… does NOT cause season 365 days

7. Weathering: breaking down of rock by wind, water, ice, plant roots and gravity
Erosion…Fast moving water or wind pushes (force)pushes sediment(pieces of rock) to a new place
Deposition… (force) fast moving water or wind stops…Gravity takes over… settling occurs…SINKING

8. Weathering...break down rock
Erosion...carrying the rock
Deposition... dropping off the rock

12. Low water… low plant… low animal population
Example…desert
A lot of water… many plants… many animals
Example… Tropical rainforest… Great BIODIVERSITY!
Populations: same type of animal in the same place…raccoons or deer
Communities: Mixed animal populations in the same area… marsh communities

14. 3 states of matter…
Solid, liquid, gases
*** When you cool any object the molecules come close together… when this occurs in the clouds…water vapor turns back into a liquid=CONDENSATION
When the water is formed it falls from the sky=PRECIPITATION (rain sleet snow etc)
Runs across the land or collects in puddles
EVAPORATION---Molecules heat up and spread out to form a vapor that goes back into the sky

15. Matter:
Physical changes and chemical changes...
Chemical changes occur as new substances are formed
Indicators...Bubbling or gas
Flame
Odor
Color change Rusting ... glow necklace
Cooked items
Two liquids become a solid...bonding...
Physical change ...
It is simply a change in size, shape or state of matter

17. Metamorphosis---cycles of CHANGE

18. Rock cycle...
1. magma under the ground... when it is exposed to air it is called lava. It cools once exposed to the atmosphere and becomes IGNEOUS ROCK (Latin means ignite...rock that was once on fire) Igneous rock is exposed to wind, water, ice and gravity and becomes weathered...broken into pieces called sediment. They are moved through the process of erosion and dropped in a new place...deposition. Sedimentary rock is made as sediment is smashed together. Sometimes animals and plants get trapped in the rock making fossils. Sedimentary rock is layered in bands...it is considered "banded" As rock is piled up upon it goes deeper in the Earth and gets re cooked by pressure and heat...It becomes Metamorphic rock...rock that has been changed by heat and pressure.

22. Describe each animal as 
a primary or secondary 
consumer and tell why 
you choose that 
classification for each 
animal.

23. Trace the energy from the Sun to the top predator

24. Explain the interdependence in this relationship

34. Explain why the chocolate melted.
Is this picture an example of convection,
conduction or radiation? Explain!

42. Explain why. Which straw will make the lowest sound? Explain 
why?

47. What evidence of fast and slow processes can be seen in the canyon
What evidence of fast 
and slow processes 
can be seen in the 
canyon?...explain

48. 3 categories of rock....
1. Igneous---comes from volcanic activity...made as magma(molten rock below 
ground) or lava(molten rock above ground) 
cools.
2. Sedimentary---Rocks made from little pieces that has been pushed together---Mother 
Nature's Hamburger patties---layered look or "bands of rock"---

49. Metamorphic---"changed"---Mother Nature's re cooked left overs---heat and pressure 
have made a rock that is extremely hard.
*** All go through the rock cycle....They are exposed to the surface of the earth and 
weathered...once broken down they become 
sedimentary rock---get pushed deeper ---- metamorphic--- get pushed deeper---
igneous---pushes upward as 
magma...started to get weathered...process 
starts again

50. Which student is in the best shape...prove it!

51. According to the chart, which student is in the best condition
According to the chart, which student is in the 
best condition? Explain your answer (2pts)

58. Using the 
shadows...predict what 
time A. would be______
B. would be______
C. would be______
D. would be______
Are shadows longer or 
shorter in the fall when 
compared to summer

88. Predict and prove … which can contained sand, which one contained topsoil and which one contained clay?
Prove it using cited evidence…
