Target: Standard 3.1 Major geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mid-ocean ridges, and mountain formation are associated with plate boundaries and attributed to plate motions.
a. Gather, analyze and communicate data that explains Earth's plates, plate motions, and the results of plate motions.
b. Identify, interpret, and explain models of plates motions on Earth.
c. Use maps to locate likely geologic "hot spots", using evidence earthquakes and volcanic activity.
d. Use web-based or other technology tools to show connections and patterns in data about tectonic plate boundaries and earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation.
Mon: Warm UP: Explain 2 reasons why you think taking good notes can
contribute to your success as a student in middle school?
Summary How did marking the text and taking Cornell notes improve your comprehension
Tues:
If Geologists can not drill all the way to the center of the Earth how do you think
they know what is inside the Earth?
Summary Identify three new understandings about the earths Layers you have learned from the
Wed: Circle the correct answers
Summary Identify how atoms move when they have tremendous energy then explain what you think
(remembering the information) about fleas?

happens to the energized atoms inside the earth.
1.
What is the deepest layer of the Earth a person has ever gotten to? Crust, mantle,
outer core.
2. What are the chunks of crust called? Continents, Crust , Tectonic Plates
3. What is caused by tectonic plates shifting? Thunder, Volcanoes, Earthquakes,
tornadoes
4. What best describes the mantle? Solid, liquid viscous, gas
5. Where are oceans located? On the top of oceanic plates, on top of continental plates,
In holes in the crust.
6. What is the thickest layer of the Earth? Crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
7. What is the Inner Core made of? Steel, iron , aluminum, Iron and Nickel
8. What best describes the outer core? Solid, liquid, viscous, gas
9. How hot is the Inner Core? As hot as an oven, as hot as a fire, as hot as the sun
10. Why is the Inner Core a solid? It’s unknown, It is colder than the outer core, the
pressure

Fri: Which layer has the greatest differences in temperature, pressure and density? Explain
Summary Identify why we are studying the inside of the earth when the science standard above ask
us to understand major geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mid-ocean ridges, and
mountain formations.
Summary: Explain why your model conversion of the Earth’s layers can help you in comparing and
contrasting layers. Specifically compare and contrast the mantle and the crust.
