1 Know: Understand: Do: S8.D Essential Explain the rock cycle as changes in the solid earth and rock types found in Pennsylvania (igneous - granite, basalt, obsidian, pumice, ; sedimentary - limestone, sandstone, shale, coal; and metamorphic - slate, quartzite, marble, gneiss). Ordinary processes at Earth's surface and just below it cause rocks to change and soils to form. Explain how certain questions can be answered through scientific inquiry and/or technological design. S8.A Essential Use evidence, such as observations or experimental results, to support inferences about a relationship. S8.A Essential Develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using evidence. S8.D Essential Compare and contrast (i.e., geological processes, length of time over which change occurs, and factors affecting the rate of change) different types of changes in Earth's surface (e.g., landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, mountain building, new land being formed, weathering, erosion, sedimentation, soil formation). Use evidence, observations, or a variety of scales (e.g., time, mass, distance, volume, temperature) to describe S8.A Essential Use evidence from investigations to clearly communicate and support conclusions. S8.D Essential Identify soil types. (i.e., humus, topsoil, subsoil, loam, loess, and parent material) and their characteristics (i.e., particle size, porosity, and permeability) found in different biomes and in Pennsylvania, and explain how they formed. Explain how certain questions can be answered through scientific inquiry and/or technological design. Page 1 of 3

5 Vocab Report for Concept: mineral identification mineral - a natural, solid, substance that has a definite chemical composition and physical structure Concept: classification of rocks igneous rock - rock that forms when melted rock cools and hardens magma - melted rock within Earth lava - magma that is exposed at Earth\'s surface sedimentary rock - rock that forms when layers of sediment settle and are cemented together metamorphic rock - rock that forms when igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rock is changed by pressure, high temperature, very hot water, or a combination of these factors metamorphism - the process by which metamorphic rock forms Concept: rock cycle rock cycle - all the processes that change rock from one type to another type Concept: soil formation bedrock - the bottom layer of soil, made mostly of solid rock topsoil - the top layer of soil, made in part from broken pieces of lower layers of rock Page 1 of 1
