GEOLOGIST S NOTEBOOK DIGGING THROUGH EARTH. Pre-Test/Anticipation Guide

Transcription

1 1 Name Pre-Test/Anticipation Guide Directions: Circle the best answer to the following questions before viewing the program. Don't worry; you may not know all of the answers. The answers will be reviewed following the program. 1. Earth is made up of layers. 2. The crust around Earth is one solid piece. 3. Miners have been able to dig 10 miles/15 kilometers into Earth's crust. 4. The crust gets warmer towards the center of Earth. 5. The asthenosphere is between the mantle and crust. 6. The core is made of hard rock. 7. Circulation of the outer core's liquid metal creates Earth's magnetic field. 8. The inner core is liquid metal. 9. Heat from Earth's interior moves around Earth's plates. 10. Once the crust is broken, it can never be fixed.

2 2 Name Discussion Questions Directions: Research and report back to the class. Creatively present the information you have learned. For example, you could create a game, do a dramatization, a news show, PowerPoint presentation with visuals, design a timeline, or write a story and read it to class. 1. If you could travel into Earth's interior, all the way to the middle, what would you find? 2. Why is Earth's crust so important for human life to exist? 3. The crust is cracked into many pieces called plates. What do these plates do? 4. How does the temperature change from the crust of Earth to the core? 5. What causes this change in temperature? 6. What is the layer called between the crust and the upper mantle? 7. Since miners can't dig much further than two miles/three kilometers into Earth, how else can they find out important information about Earth's interior? 8. How does gravity play a role in these layers? 9. What is the main difference between the mantle and the core? 10. What cause the magnetic field on Earth? 11. How hot is the inner core? 12. How do the plates move around? 13. How does the crust renew its gaps?

3 3 (pre/post) Name Video Quiz Directions: Now that you have learned so much from viewing Digging Through Earth, it is now time to test what you have learned. Answer each question by circling the correct response by circling either true or false. Do your best! 1. Earth's thin shell of hard rock is called the crust. 2. The asthenosphere has soft rock that lacks strength. 3. Both layers of the mantle are mostly rock; both layers of the core are metal. 4. The middle of Earth is soft and spongy. 5. Heat rising from deep inside Earth can move the crust's plates.

4 4a Connect To. Name Directions: 1. Connect one box with another box by drawing a line in between the two. 2. On the line, explain how the two words are connected. Use complete sentences. 3. Make a total of four connections. 4. Extend your thinking by taking time to write thoughtful complete answers. ocean plates colliding crust mountains continental plates

5 4b Connect To.. Name Directions: 1. Complete each box with a vocabulary word provided by your teacher. 2. Connect one box with another box by drawing a line in between the two. 3. On the line, explain how the two words are connected. Use complete sentences. 4. Make a total of four connections. 5. Extend your thinking by taking time to write thoughtful complete answers.

6 5 Name Graphic Organizer Directions: Complete the graphic organizer below. Use the information you learned in the program as well as from classroom resources. Layer Where is it located? Add any other improtant information you know. Of what is it made?

7 6 Name A Look Inside Earth Directions: Draw a picture of Earth as if it were cut in half. Include each layer in your drawing, and label each layer. Use your resources to help you. Key vocabulary that should be part of your drawing: inner core, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, asthenosphere, crust, soil, water.

8 7 Name Post-Test Directions: Answer the following questions with your best effort. All written answers should be in complete sentences. 1. Explain what plates are in Earth's structure? 2. The very top layer of Earth, found under soil and water, is which of the following: A) upper mantle B) crust C) asthenosphere D) outer core 3. The outer core is made of liquid metal. A) True B) False 4. Explain why the temperature rises towards the center of Earth. 5. Which of the following causes the difference between the upper mantle and lower mantle? A) heat B) pressure C) erosion 6. The pressure on the inner core can be compared to which of the following: A) The same pressure as the pressure around an exploding bomb. B) The same pressure as the pressure of a volcano erupting. C) The same pressure as the pressure of hurricane winds. 7. Explain how plates moving in Earth's crust can change the surface of Earth. 8. The inner core is made of solid metal. A) True B) False 9. The reason we have a magnetic field is due to the inner core. A) True B) False 10. Explain how the crust is renewed after it spreads apart.
