Summary/ Feedback/ Questions

5. Intro. to Earth Science - Vocab
Earth Science -(also known as geoscience) includes sciences related to the planet Earth, including geology, geophysics, hydrology, meteorology, physical geography, oceanography, and soil science.
What’s the purpose or motivation for studying or pursuing earth science?
What could be a potential struggle in studying it?

6. Intro. to Earth Science – People
Review: James Hutton, Georges Cuvier, Charles Lyell

7. Remember: Which person’s theory do you agree with more? Why?
Georges Cuvier: Earth's features are mostly accounted for by violent, large-scale events that occurred in a relatively short amount of time. (Catastrophism)
James Hutton: The earth is constantly changing and forming and has been for billions of years (Uniformitarianism)

8. HOT questions
If you could travel back in time to talk to any one of these scientists, who would you pick? What would you ask them and why?
CFO:
Who believed Earth changed slowly?
Cuvier
Hutton
Lyell
Someone else

9. Intro. to Earth Science – Main Ideas
Materials
Rocks, Soil, Minerals, Gases, Water, Light
Processes to shape the earth
Tectonic plates, subduction zones, volcanic activity
Recycling
Decomposition, water /nitrogen/carbon cycles
Weather and Climate patterns
Pressures on living things

10. CFO: The following are main ideas of earth science:
Materials, Cycles, and Volcanoes
Mountains forming, the atmosphere, and space
The oceans, the atmosphere, and the earth
None of the above

11. Intro. to Earth Science – “the spheres”
1. Lithosphere
Land
Where volcanoes release particles that change the atmosphere
2. Biosphere
Life
Plants change the lithosphere and atmosphere
3. Hydrosphere
Water
Oceans affect atmospheric temperature and rivers shape the lithosphere
4. Atmosphere
“Sky”
Precipitation changes the lithosphere

12. CFO: Which has to deal with the surface of the earth? Lithosphere
Biosphere
Hydrosphere
Atmosphere
Which has to deal with the water and oceans on the planet?

13. Things to think/write about…
Why do you think it is taking scientists so long to figure out how these things work?
What could you invent to help discover more about the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, or atmosphere?

14. Team Building Monday
Students are lined up in the classroom and each given an animal to portray.
Students must organize themselves alphabetically without making any sounds.
Students may only trade places 2 at a time and they may only switch places with a direct neighbor.
Breaking rules = restart!

15. Last Items/ Questions HW:
Organize/Purchase science folder due Monday
Students may research natural gas drilling for extra background knowledge, if desired, for Friday
Extra Credit for students to collect, organize, and classify own rock collection due next Monday 1/18
Think about your progress and effort in the first week. Is this how you want to start?
