Standard 8-1 (Inquiry)
1. Name the steps to the scientific method in order.
1. State the problem
2. Gather Information
3. Form a hypothesis
4. Experiment (test a hypothesis)
5. Record and Analyze Data
6. State the conclusion
7. Communicate the results
2. Name the SI units for the following: time, temperature, mass, length, and volume
Time
Temperature
Mass
Length
SI Unit
Seconds (s)
Kelvin (K)
Kilogram (kg) or Gram (g)
Meters (m)
Volume
Liters (L) or Mililiters (mL)
3. Describe water displacement. Water displacement measures the volume of irregular shape
objects. To find water displacement you subtract the volume of the liquid from the volume
of the liquid and object.
Standard 8-3 (Earth Layers, Seismic Waves, and Earthquakes)
1. Name the layers in order from the most to least dense.
Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Asthenosphere, Lithosphere, and Crust
2. Which layer is the thickest? Which layer is the thinnest? Thickest: Mantle, Thinnest: Crust
3. Name the layers that are completely solids (3) and name the layers that are not completely solids (3).
Completely solids: crust, lithosphere, and inner core
Not completely solids: asthenosphere, outer core, and mantle
4. Name the 2 types of crust (Include the types of rocks they are made up of as well). Oceanic Crust
(Basalt) and Continental Crust (Granite)
5. What crust is being subducted in a subduction zone? Oceanic Crust, because it is more dense.
6. Which crust is the youngest? Explain Why? Oceanic Crust because it is being recycled.
7. Can a secondary wave travel through all layers of the Earth? Explain Why?
No, because it cannot go through the outer core because it is a liquid.
8. Which Earth’s layer deals with the magnetic field? Outer Core
9. What is the order of seismic waves as they leave the focus? P wave, S wave, Surface Wave
10. What is the movement, position, speed, and state of matter it travels through of a Primary wave? Back
and Forth/First to Leave/Fastest/All states of matter
11. What is the movement, position, speed, and state of matter it travels through of a Secondary wave?
Up and Down at right angles to the primary wave/2nd to leave/Slower than the P waves/Only travel
through solids
12. Which seismic wave is the fastest wave and which wave stops at the outer core-Explain why?
P wave/ S wave stops at the outer core because it only travels through solids.
