6th grade Science Unit 1.3 Structures of the Earth and Energy Resources My learning targets: 6.7 Matter and energy. The student knows that some of Earth's energy resources are available on a nearly perpetual basis, while others can be renewed over a relatively short period of time. Some energy resources, once depleted, are essentially nonrenewable. 6.10 Earth and space. The student understands the structure of Earth, the rock cycle, and plate tectonics. My Look-Fors 6.10(A) build a model to illustrate the structural layers of Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere; 1 What are the layers of the Earth in order from the outside to the inside? 2 Which layer permits plate motion by pushing up on the crust? 3 Which layer has highest density? Which layer has lowest density? 4 Which layer is solid and has the most extreme pressure and temperature? 5 Which layer of Earth has convection currents? 6 Using a blank map of the world, label continents and oceans from different points of view. 7 Using a diagram of Earth, describe the density of layers if you traveled from crust to core. 8 Using a diagram of Earth, calculate the difference in density between the layers. 9 Using a diagram of Earth, calculate the temperature changes and describe them if you traveled from crust to core 10 What are possible limitations to modeling the Earth's layers? Vocabulary- inner core, outer core, mantle, asthenosphere, lithosphere, crust, plasticity, convection current (C) identify the major tectonic plates, including Eurasian, African, Indo-Australian, Pacific, North American, and South American; 11 What is a tectonic plate? 12 What are most of the tectonic plates named after? 13 Using a map, locate and name the largest tectonic plates- South American and Pacific Plate 14 Using a map, locate the tectonic plate that is most dense. Why do you think this plate is the densest? 15 Using a map, locate the tectonic plate that is mostly oceanic crust. What is the plate name? 16 Using a map, identify significant geographic features such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Ring of Fire 17 Using a map, describe the direction a plate is moving (North, South, East, West, together, apart, etc) 18 What geographic features support the theory of plate tectonics? 19 How does fossil evidence support the theory of plate tectonics? Vocabulary- Tectonic plates, Eurasian, African, Indo-Australian, Pacific, North American, South American, Nazca Additional Skills to include in instruction/Prior knowledge 20 Do I know where California Is? North America? and the Pacific Ocean? 21 I can label the continents and oceans
