Jan. 15– 1.1.4 You perform an experiment to answer this question: “Will the size of a sponge determine the amount of water it can hold?” Which of the following is the better statement of the hypothesis? A) There is no difference in the amount of water held by sponges of different sizes. B) The amount of water that can be held by a sponge increases as the size of the sponge increases. Answer: A) There is no difference in the amount of water held by sponges of different sizes. Jan. 16– 1.1.1 You perform an experiment to answer this question: “Will a Styrofoam or a metal cup keep a liquid hotter?” Which of the following is the better statement of the hypothesis for this problem? A) The liquid in the Styrofoam cup will stay hotter than the liquid in the metal cup. B) The temperature changes of a liquid in a Styrofoam and a metal cup are the same. Answer: B) The temperature changes of a liquid in a Styrofoam and a metal cup are the same. Jan. 17 – 4.1.1 Name the three layers of the Earth. Answer: Crust Mantle Core Jan. 18 – 4.1.2 When rocks and rock sediments are melted, they form magma which is melted rock deep in the Earth.

Which of these is an igneous rock that cooled on the surface? A) Granite B) Limestone C) Pumice Answer: C) Pumice Jan. 23– 4.2.1 Land forms are the results of… A) Constructive forces B) Destructive forces C) A combination of both Answer: C) A Combination of both Jan. 24– 4.2.1 Tell which of these forces are constructive and which are destructive in the creation of land forms. A) Crust deformation & deposition B) Erosion & volcanic eruption C) Deposition of sediments Answer: Destructive Forces – B) Erosion & volcanic eruption Constructive Forces – A) Crust deformation & deposition C) Deposition of sediments Jan. 25– 4.3.1 What percentage of the Sun’s rays reach the Earth’s surface? A) 98% B) 66% C) 35% Answer: B) 66% Jan. 28– 4.3.1 What causes 34% of the Sun’s energy to turn back into space? Answer: The ozone layer Clouds Dust in the atmosphere Jan. 29– 4.1.2 When rocks or rock sediments melt and cool quickly they form what type of rock? A) Metamorphic B) Sedimentary C) Igneous Answer: A) Metamorphic Jan. 30– 4.1.2 Name three of the processes in the rock cycle. Answer: Hardening Application of heat and pressure Melting Weathering Jan. 31, 2013 What is systemic circulation? Blood that travels from the heart to the body Feb. 1, 2013 What must happen to a rock before it becomes magma? Answer: It must melt Feb. 4– 4.1.1 True or False: The atmosphere has the same properties at all elevations. Answer: False Feb. 5– 4.1.1 How is the atmosphere different at different elevations? Answer: Temperature Pressure Composition and concentration of gasses Feb. 6– 4.1.1 What effect does the ocean have on land temperature, such as Hawaii? Answer: Ocean temperature doesn’t change at night so the land temperature doesn’t change drastically. Climates near the ocean are generally milder than those further inland. Feb. 7– 4.1.1 Name two major gases that occur in the atmosphere. Answer: Nitrogen Oxygen Feb. 8– 4.1.1 Yes or No: Is the troposphere (the first layer of the atmosphere) the same depth all the way around the Earth? Answer: No. The troposphere is 5 miles thick at the poles and 12 miles thick at the equator. Feb. 11– 4.1.1 How does a tree affect the composition of gases in the atmosphere? Answer: A tree releases oxygen (day), carbon dioxide (night), and water vapor (day) into the air. Feb. 12– 4.1.2 How do living organisms contribute to the weathering of rocks? Answer: People and other animals crush the rock as they walk Plants as the grow Urbanization Feb. 13– 4.1.2 30 True or False: The Earth processes we see today (such as erosion, building of land by volcanoes, and the movement of the plates of the Earth) have always occurred.
