Sun… the only star in our solar system
Holds all planets in orbit by gravity
Burns hydrogen and helium
Average size that looks large because it is
close to us
Sends light energy to the Earth
(Direct rays cause warm temps and
indirect rays cause cool temps.)
We have a tilted Earth that is why some
areas get direct rays and other get indirect
ray
North and South will always have opposite
seasons
Decomposers
Tertiary
Consumer or
Apex predator
Secondary Consumer:
Carnivore and Omnivore
Primary consumers: Herbivores
Producers: do photosynthesis which
turns light energy into chemical energy
Sun light………………………………..White light
Rotation… cause day and night cycle 24 hours
Revolution… does NOT cause season 365 days
Weathering: breaking down of rock by wind, water,
ice, plant roots and gravity
Erosion…Fast moving water or wind pushes
(force)pushes sediment(pieces of rock) to a new
place
Deposition… (force) fast moving water or wind
stops…Gravity takes over… settling occurs…SINKING
Weathering...break down rock
Erosion...carrying the rock
Deposition... dropping off the rock
Low water… low plant… low animal population
Example…desert
A lot of water… many plants… many animals
Example… Tropical rainforest… Great
BIODIVERSITY!
Populations: same type of animal in the same
place…raccoons or deer
Communities: Mixed animal populations in the
same area… marsh communities
Matter:
Physical changes and chemical changes...
Chemical changes occur as new substances are formed
Indicators...Bubbling or gas
Flame
Odor
Color change Rusting ... glow necklace
Cooked items
Two liquids become a solid...bonding...
Physical change ...
It is simply a change in size, shape or state of matter
Rock cycle...
1. magma under the ground... when it is exposed to air it is called lava. It cools once
exposed to the atmosphere and becomes IGNEOUS ROCK (Latin means ignite...rock
that was once on fire) Igneous rock is exposed to wind, water, ice and gravity and
becomes weathered...broken into pieces called sediment. They are moved through
the process of erosion and dropped in a new place...deposition. Sedimentary rock is
made as sediment is smashed together. Sometimes animals and plants get trapped
in the rock making fossils. Sedimentary rock is layered in bands...it is considered
"banded" As rock is piled up upon it goes deeper in the Earth and gets re cooked by
pressure and heat...It becomes Metamorphic rock...rock that has been changed by
heat and pressure.
Describe each animal as a
primary or secondary consumer
and tell why you choose that
classification for each animal.
Trace the energy from the Sun to the top predator
Explain the interdependence in this relationship
Explain why the chocolate melted.
Is this picture an example of convection,
conduction or radiation? Explain!
Explain why. Which straw will make the lowest sound? Explain why?
What evidence of fast and
slow processes can be seen
in the canyon?...explain
3 categories of rock....
1. Igneous---comes from volcanic activity...made as
magma(molten rock below ground) or lava(molten rock above
ground) cools.
2. Sedimentary---Rocks made from little pieces that has been
pushed together---Mother Nature's Hamburger patties--layered look or "bands of rock"---
Metamorphic---"changed"---Mother Nature's re cooked left
overs---heat and pressure have made a rock that is
extremely hard.
*** All go through the rock cycle....They are exposed to the
surface of the earth and weathered...once broken down
they become sedimentary rock---get pushed deeper ---metamorphic--- get pushed deeper--- igneous---pushes
upward as magma...started to get weathered...process
starts again
