Notes for this unit: (ignore dates)
Monday- Review Rocks/Intro to the rock cycle
The rock cycle never ends! It takes thousands of years for rocks to change from one kind to another. Look at the image to the left.
Tuesday- The Rock Cycle/Review for test
Wednesday- Review for Test
Thursday- Test
Friday- Halloween Lab! What is the effect of hight on how far (fake) blood splatters?
10/20-10-/24
MOSL testing week- no classes

2.14- 2.18
Monday- No School
Tuesday/Wednesday- Students will be writing Newspaper Articles for their portfolios. They will be portfolio assignments on Earthquakes. See last weeks notes.
Thursday- Volcanoes
•Volcano**- a mountain that forms in Earth’s Crust when molten material, or magma, reaches the surface.
•Magma**- a molten mixture of rock-forming substances, gases, and water inside) the mantle
•Lava**- magma on Earth’s surface
•Volcanic belts form along boundaries of the Earth’s plates.
•The Ring of Fire**- a major belt of volcanoes
A volcano forms above a hot spot when magma erupts through the crust and reaches the Earth’s surface.
Volcanic Eruptions can be quiet (slow, not much damage) or explosive (dangerous, a lot of damage)
Volcanoes can be active (go off all the time), Dormant (may go off in the Future, but not likely) or extinct (dead, will never go off again).
Friday -3 Types of Rocks
Igneous Rocks (Pg. 48-49)
Formed from Magma or Lava
Sedimentary Rocks (Pg. 52-53)
Sedimentary Rocks are formed through processes: weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.
Metamorphic Rocks (Pg. 58-59)
Any rock that forms from another rock as a result of heat and pressure

2.5-2.13
10/6 - 10/10
Monday- Latitude and Longitude
Equator- An imaginary line that cuts the world in half.
Latitude- Lines parallel to the equator.
Prime Meridian- Line that goes from the south pole to the north pole.
Longitude- Lines parallel to the prime meridian
Tuesday- Plate Tectonics
Plates** vs. Continents**
•The crust of the earth is divided into pieces called plates.
•Some plates contain continents (landmasses) and some contain oceans.
•The Theory of Plate Tectonics states that the earth’s tectonic plates are always moving.
•The moving plates bump into one another at their boundaries (edges) and earthquakes occur.
Wednesday- Plate Boundaries
See Picture at the bottom
Thursday/Friday- Earthquakes
Earthquake proof structures should be strong and flexible so the building does not crack.
Earthquake proof building components
1.A large base provides more support
2. A tapered shape (smaller at the top)
3.Short buildings are more earthquake proof than tall ones
4. Cross bracing that forms triangles
