Name: _________________________ Teacher: ________________ Period: _________ 6th Grade Science Final Exam Review Complete the following questions by ________________________. This is your study guide for your science final. Your final is on ____________________. 1. Describe the parts of the scientific method. You may write an example. a. Problem – Question you are trying to answer. Ex: Which diaper is the most absorbent? b. Hypothesis – educated guess Ex: I think Pampers will be the most absorbent. c. Procedure – steps you take to test your hypothesis Ex: 1. Pour 500 ml of water….. d. Variable – the only thing that can change in the experiment Ex: Using three types of diapers, all following the same procedure e. Observations/Data Collection Ex: Pampers 1000 - ml; Huggies - 900 ml; Store brand – 500 ml 2. Define the following terms: a. Continents – large landmasses on Earth’s surface b. Elevation – height of a point above or below sea level c. Lava – molten rock on Earth’s surface d. Magma – molten rock below Earth’s surface e. Tectonic plates – large, solid pieces of Earth’s surface f. Rotation – SPINNING OF EARTH ON ITS AXIS; CAUSES DAY & NIGHT (DAY 24 hours) g. Revolution – MOVEMENT OF EARTH AROUND THE SUN; CAUSES SEASONS (YEAR 365 ¼ days) h. Fracture – BREAKING OF A ROCK/MINERAL INTO UNEVEN PIECES i. Streak – POWDER LEFT BEHIND BY A MINERAL j. Crater – PIT AT THE TOP OF A VOLCANIC CONE 3. Is Earth’s surface covered more by land or water? WATER 4. What are the two main gases in our atmosphere? NITROGEN & OXYGEN 5. The movement of tectonic plates is caused by CONVECTION CURRENTS in the Earth’s MANTLE. 6. The idea that Earth’s crust is made up of separate plates that float on the mantle is the theory of PLATE TECTONICS. 7. Another name for Polaris is THE NORTH STAR. 8. According to scientists, Earth had one supercontinent known as PANGAEA. 9. The movement of tectonic plates at a fault is a cause of EARTHQUAKES. 10.Describe how each type of rock is formed: a. Igneous – HARNDENED LAVA b. Metamorphic – HEAT & PRESSURE c. Sedimentary – REMAINS OF LIVING THINGS compacted and cemented 11.Explain what each weather tool measures: a. Thermometer – TEMPERATURE b. Barometer – AIR PRESSURE c. Anemometer – WIND SPEED 12.How could you tell if a mountain was young? SHARP, JAGGED PEAKS 13. What is the formula for density? D= M ÷ V 14. John has 20 mL of a solution. The solution had a mass of 100 g. What was the density of the solution? D= M ÷ V D= 100g ÷ 20 mL = 5 g/mL 15.Describe the following types of clouds: a. Stratus – often large and gray b. Cirrus - Look like pulled cotton candy (ice crystals) c. Cumulous – puffy, white 16.Draw a diagram that shows evaporation, precipitation, condensation, the sun and a water source. 1 = sun 2 = condensation 3 = evaporation 4 = precipitation 5 = water source 17. Label the diagram using the following terms: rotation, revolution, axis, summer, winter, spring, fall A = rotation B = axis C = revolution D = winter E = fall F = summer Top center is spring 18. In the diagram, when is the Northern Hemisphere receiving the most direct light? AT POINT F 19.How long will it take the Earth to go completely around the sun? 365 DAYS (ONE YEAR) 20.What process creates magma? melting 21.What processes create sediment? Weathering & erosion 22.What processes create igneous rock? Crystallization (cooling & hardening) 23.What processes create sedimentary rock? Compaction & cementation 24.What processes create metamorphic rock? Heat & pressure
