NeSA-S Review #1 – Math Booster
The male Siberian mammoth reached a height of about 3 m at the
shoulder. Females reached a height of about 2.5 m at the shoulder.
What is the ratio of the maximum height of a female Siberian
mammoth to the height of a male Siberian mammoth?

2. for organization, to keep things separate, (accept
any reasonable answer)
A1: A person walks 10 kilometers (km)
in 2 hours (h), what is the average speed?
A. 2 km/h
Speed is distance/time, so this person’s speed is 5km/h.
B. 5 km/h
Speed is distance/time, so this person’s speed is 5km/h.
C. 10 km/h
Speed is distance/time, so this person’s speed is 5km/h.
D. 20 km/h
Speed is distance/time, so this person’s speed is 5km/h.
SC8.2.2.a DOK 2
A2: What is the distance traveled by a car in 5 hours (h) if
its speed is 35km/h?
A. 7 km
If the car travels 35 km each hour for 5 hours, the total
distance traveled would be 175 km (35 x 5)
B. 150 km
If the car travels 35 km each hour for 5 hours, the total
distance traveled would be 175 km (35 x 5)
C. 175 km
If the car travels 35 km each hour for 5 hours, the total
distance traveled would be 175 km (35 x 5)
D. 1750 km
If the car travels 35 km each hour for 5 hours, the total
distance traveled would be 175 km (35 x 5)

Layers of the Earth Foldable
Notes 1
Begin by cutting out the layers of the earth.
 Take two pieces of 8 x 11 of colored paper

Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 2
Paste the crust picture
close to the top of the
first paper in the
center of the page.
 Set the second piece
of paper on top of
the first below the
crust.

Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 3
Paste the mantle on the
second piece of paper
close to the crust.
 Carefully line up the
mantle and the crust and
fold the bottom of the top
sheet of paper to about
¼ inch below the bottom
of the mantle picture.

Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 4
Paste the outer core
on the third flap
down so that it is
under the mantle.
 Fold the bottom sheet
of paper up so that
the edge meets the
bottom of the outer
core.

Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 5
Finally paste the inner
core to the bottom flap.
 Once complete staple
across the bottom of the
foldable.

Color the following parts:
 Inner
core =red
 Outer core = red orange
 Lower Mantle = orange
 Middle Mantle = light
orange
 Upper Mantel = yellow
 Oceanic Crust = dark brown
 Continental Crust = light
brown
 Ocean = blue

On the bottom “inner
core flap” you will need
to add an extra flap.
Take a small strip of
paper and fold it in half.
Glue the back side of the
new piece to the lower
left corner.
On the inside label

Inner Core:
Composition
 Thickness
 State of Matter


Continue to add on each flap the
same information beginning with
the outer core, mantel and crust.
Composition:
 Thickness
 States of Matter


Make sure that this information is
kept below the flap but located on
the upper left hand side of the
paper.
Students will then find this
information on their own using the
text book.
