1 Using Reference Materials LA #3636 Have you ever had a project to complete, but were not sure where to find information about the topic or person? There is a great way to learn about famous people, events, inventions, or just about anything. You can find tons of information by using reference materials.

Term Description 1. encyclopedia a. This is a list of topics in alphabetical order. It gives the page numbers that have information about each topic, and it may point to other places with more information, making the search for a subject much easier. 2. index b. Books, almanacs, encyclopedias, maps, and other information sources are all called this. They are a great place to start your research. 3. reference materials c. These are like dictionaries, but contain more information! They are updated almost every year with current information. Page 1 of 2
2 Using Reference Materials LA #3636 Part B Circle the letter that best completes the sentence. 1. Many libraries have a section of books called reference materials. These books can be used only in the library because. 2. When you the source, you are giving credit to the person or publisher who wrote or published the information. 3. When searching online, put your subject in. It tells the computer to look for a whole name. 4. Good reference materials provide up-to-date information. They should be no more than years old. 5.

3 The Changing Planet LA #3548 Earth today looks very different from the time the dinosaurs roamed it. Earth has gone through many changes since it first formed. It is changing even today.

These occur when forces in Earth cause sections of land to suddenly slide past or into each other. 4. Lava from these makes islands, like Hawaii, bigger every year. 5. The Ice Ages were prehistoric times in which these covered large areas of the world. 6. When these occur under the ocean, they can create islands. 7. People who live in areas where these occur must take special precautions when furnishing and decorating their homes. 8. Ice and snow that does not melt on mountains builds up to make these. 9. If you live along the San Andreas Fault in California, you are likely to have experienced these. 10. Sometimes the force of these is great enough to blast them apart.
4 Where Is My Home? LA #3558 No matter where you live, whether in a big city, a small town, or on a farm, whether in an apartment, a condominium, or a house, it is your home. Your home and neighborhood are special places. Plants and animals also have homes and neighborhoods. Take a closer look at the different habitats and neighborhoods around the world.

It contains our Sun and more than 100 billion other stars. galaxies universe Milky Way Andromeda 4. appears in the northern sky during the autumn.

8 Space Stuff LA #3616 Our solar system contains an enormous amount of objects in it, such as the Sun, planets, asteroids, comets, dust, and meteors. Sometimes pieces of these objects in space fall to Earth. These pieces can give scientists clues about how our solar system began. Take a closer look at outer space. Place the correct letter in the blank before the sentence. A = Asteroids, M = Meteors, C = Comets 1. The Greeks thought these looked fuzzy and hairy. 2. Some people call them shooting stars. But, they are not stars at all. 3. These can be very small, or hundreds of miles across. 4. Some of these orbit the Sun like planets. 5. These are made of ice, rock, and dust. The head looks like a dirty snowball. 6. These objects usually burn up when they enter Earth s atmosphere. 7. These are made of rock that can be light or heavy, shiny or dull. 8. These are any pieces of matter that enter Earth s atmosphere. 9. Most of these are found in the area between the planets Mars and Jupiter. 10. Edmond Halley was an English astronomer. He predicted that one of these objects he saw in 1682 would return in It did return, and it was named in his honor.
9 Solar Shadows LA #3619 Have you ever seen it become as dark as night in the middle of the day? This is called an eclipse. An eclipse happens when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth. Have you ever seen an eclipse? Take a look, but not too close to hurt your eyes, at this out of this world event, a solar eclipse. Part A Fill in the blank with the correct word(s) from the box. Some words can be used more than once. total eclipse life plants stories partial eclipse solar eclipse revolves 1. Earth around the Sun. The Moon around Earth. 2.

When the Sun is partially covered by the Moon, you see a. 5. The Sun is very important to life on Earth. Without the Sun, would die and then all other would also die. 6. Long ago, people did not understand solar eclipses. They created many to try to explain why the Sun disappeared during the day.
