1. Welcome to Science 11/1
Put your name on your paper. Divide it into 4 sections as shown below. This is your 1st quarter evaluation. Answer each question honestly, this will help make class better for you.
What do you like best about this class?
What activity/procedure that we do on a regular basis helps you learn best?
What is one thing you would change to help make this class better?
What is one thing you need to do differently in order to improve your grade this quarter?

3. Review (Earth’s Layers)
Earth’s layers can be categorized in two ways: Compositon and Physical
Crust Lithosphere
Mantle Asthenosphere
Core Mesosphere
Outer Core
Inner Core

4. Review (Plates)
Earth’s lithosphere is broken up into several massive pieces called tectonic plates that move on top of the asthenosphere (upper mantle)

5. Review (Convection Currents)
Convection Currents in the Mantle cause Earth’s plates to move. These currents are caused by heat from the core.
The higher the temp. the lower the density.

6. Review (plate movement)
Plates move in three different ways:
1. converge (come together) 2. diverge (move apart) 3. transform (slide past each other)

7. Review (plate movement effects)
When Earth’s plates move several process can happen such as: sea-floor spreading, subduction, mountain building, faulting, earthquakes, and volcanoes.

8. Review
All of the concepts we have learned to this point are closely related to each other.
These science concepts are like a puzzle: All of the “pieces” work together to make something bigger.
The concepts are also an example of cause & effect. When one process occurs another process will occur in return.

10. EXPERIMENT of THE DAY
You are eating at a restaurant when you spill your glass of water on an empty plate. The server comes by to help you clean it up, but before the water gets cleaned up, the server says that he will give you your meal for free if you can get the water back into the glass with out lifting the plate up. He says you can use the lemon that was in your water and matches.

11. What do all of these things have in common?
They are all made of
rock?

12. Rocks Why are rocks important?
Since the beginning of human existence, we have depended on them.

13. How did rock form on Earth?
Not only do we rely on rock for tools and construction, but Earth’s crust, which supports human life, is made of solid rock.
So, how did Earth’s crust form?
The early Earth was originally a giant ball of magma & lava. As Earth cooled down, some of the magma & lava hardened to form Earth’s crust.

14. Ch. 4 Section 1: Understanding Rock
What is rock?
A solid mixture of minerals.
Why is it important?
We live on rock and we use rock for many things.

15. The Rock Cycle
The processes that can change rocks into different types of rocks.

16. What do all of these items have in common?

17. Rock Classification
Composition- What something is made of. The minerals a rock is made of determines its composition.
A rocks color is an indication of the rock’s mineral composition.

18. Rock Classification
Some rocks are smooth and shiny. Others are rough and dull. What do geologists call the look and feel of a rock’s surface?
Texture
Fine Grained-Medium Grained-Coarse Grained

19. What are the 3 major groups that geologists classify rocks into?
1. Igneous
2. Sedimentary
3. Metamorphic

20. Igneous Rock Igneous rock- form from the cooling of magma or lava.
Can form on or beneath Earth’s surface.

21. Sedimentary Rock
Sediment- small, solid pieces of material that come from rocks or living things.
Most sedimentary rocks are formed through a series of processes.

22. From Sediment to Rock
Erosion- running water, wind, or ice loosen and carry away fragments of rock.

23. From Sediment to Rock
Deposition- the process by which sediment settles out of the water or wind carrying it.

24. From Sediment to Rock
Compaction- the process that presses sediments together.

25. From Sediment to Rock
Cementation- process by which sediments are glued together and hardened.

26. Metamorphic Rock
Metamorphic rock- created when heat and pressure deep beneath Earth’s surface change any rock into metamorphic rock.

27. Homework Options Complete the Ch. 5 Worksheet
Write a poem or song about the 3 types of rocks. (Must tell what the three types of rock are and how they are formed. Poem or song must be appropriate and make sense.)
Illustrate one of each of the types of rock and write a short paragraph describing what they are and how they formed.
(Illustrations must be detailed, match the shape, color and features of the rocks.)
