1 Monday, June 10th Entry Task Answer the following questions, full sentences, IQIA. 1.What are the four types of processes that shape planets’ surfaces? 2.For each of the above processes, give an example of a feature that the process can produce. 3.How can an atmosphere affect the temperature of a planet’s surface? Schedule: Inner Planets Homework: Make sure to bring planet book to work on tomorrow Bring book number for a check tomorrow Objective: I can understand information about the inner solar system Please have on desk: Planet Book

3 The four planets that are closest to the sun are called the TERRESTRIAL PLANETS.The four planets that are closest to the sun are called the TERRESTRIAL PLANETS. These planets have rocky crusts and dense mantles and cores.These planets have rocky crusts and dense mantles and cores.

4 Scientists study Earth to learn more about other planets.Scientists study Earth to learn more about other planets. All of the terrestrial planets formed in similar ways and follow similar patterns.All of the terrestrial planets formed in similar ways and follow similar patterns.

5 All terrestrial planets have layers.All terrestrial planets have layers. –The heaviest materials form the core. –Lighter rock formed a mantle around the core. –The lightest rock rose to the surface and formed a crust.

7 Tectonics is the processes of change in a crust due to the motion of hot material underneath.Tectonics is the processes of change in a crust due to the motion of hot material underneath. The crusts of the planets can be twisted, wrinkled up, or stretched out by the mantle.The crusts of the planets can be twisted, wrinkled up, or stretched out by the mantle.

8 Volcanism occurs when molten rock moves from a planet’s hot interior onto its surface.Volcanism occurs when molten rock moves from a planet’s hot interior onto its surface. When the inside of a planet cools enough, no more molten rock reaches the surface.When the inside of a planet cools enough, no more molten rock reaches the surface.

9 Weather or small impacts break down rocks.Weather or small impacts break down rocks. The broken material is moved by a group of processes called erosion.The broken material is moved by a group of processes called erosion. The material may form dunes, new layers of rock, or other features.The material may form dunes, new layers of rock, or other features.

12 Earth’s crust is split into large pieces called tectonic plates.Earth’s crust is split into large pieces called tectonic plates. These plates are moved by Earth’s hot mantle.These plates are moved by Earth’s hot mantle. Mountains, valleys and other features form as the plates move.Mountains, valleys and other features form as the plates move.

19 Tuesday, June 11 th Entry Task 1.Name one way the outer solar system is different from the inner solar system. 2.Why are the outer solar system planets called gas giants? Schedule: Read/RSG 21.3 Planet Book- Outer Planets Objective: I can understand that the outer solar system has four giant planets Homework Finish Planet Book

20 Wednesday, June 12 th Entry Task Answer the following questions using full sentences, IQIA. 1.Which planet has a greater mass then all the other planets put together? 2.What do you see instead of a solid surface when you look at an image of a giant planet? 3.Which planets have rings? Schedule: Outer Planets Homework: 20.2 and 20.3 Quiz tomorrow Objective: I can understand important information about the outer planets Please have on desk: 21.3 RSG Planet Book

22 Beyond Mars stretches the outer solar system where the four largest planets slowly orbit the sun.Beyond Mars stretches the outer solar system where the four largest planets slowly orbit the sun. We call these planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, the gas giants.We call these planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, the gas giants.

23 The gas giants are made mainly of hydrogen, helium, and other gases.The gas giants are made mainly of hydrogen, helium, and other gases.

24 When you think of gases, you probably think of Earth’s air, which is not very dense.When you think of gases, you probably think of Earth’s air, which is not very dense. However, the giant planets are so large and have such huge amounts of these gases that they have a LOT of mass.However, the giant planets are so large and have such huge amounts of these gases that they have a LOT of mass.

25 The HUGE gravitational force from such a large mass is enough to pull the gas particles close together and make the atmosphere very dense.The HUGE gravitational force from such a large mass is enough to pull the gas particles close together and make the atmosphere very dense.

26 Inside, the gases become more dense than water.Inside, the gases become more dense than water. The outermost parts are less dense and more like Earth’s atmosphere.The outermost parts are less dense and more like Earth’s atmosphere. Jupiter

27 Imagine traveling into one… At first the atmosphere is thin and very cold. There may be a haze of gases.At first the atmosphere is thin and very cold. There may be a haze of gases. SaturnSaturn

28 A little lower is a layer of clouds that reflect sunlight, just like on Earth. There are strong winds and other weather patterns.A little lower is a layer of clouds that reflect sunlight, just like on Earth. There are strong winds and other weather patterns. Neptune

29 Lower down, it is warmer and there are layers of clouds of different materials. Uranus

30 As you go farther, the atmosphere gradually becomes dense enough to be called a liquid. It also gets thousands of degrees hotter as you get closer to the center of the planet!As you go farther, the atmosphere gradually becomes dense enough to be called a liquid. It also gets thousands of degrees hotter as you get closer to the center of the planet!

31 The materials around you become more and more dense until they are solid. Neptune
