UNIT 1: DYNAMIC STRUCTURE OF EARTH 3. : Research a Career 5. : Earth Comparisons 8. : Building a Model of the Earth 11. : Mantle Convection 13. : Plate Boundaries 16. : Sphere Interaction Lab 20. : Flow of Energy 22. Special In this assignment, you will write a report on one of four select science career fields to get a closer look at what this type of scientist does in his/her work. In this assignment, you will make a chart of some of the basic characteristics of each planet so that you can compare and contrast these characteristics to those of Earth. the layers of the interior of the earth by creating a virtual model of Earth. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of mantle convection by observing a process of convection and relating it to plate tectonics. types of plate boundaries and identify the results of plate interactions. a variety of sphere interactions of Earth. In this assignment, you will construct a food web representing the flow of energy in an ecosystem and you will investigate how changes in an ecosystem affect a food web. Special assignments are used Reference materials Reference materials Computer-based graphics program -or- Colored pencils or markers UNIT 2: FORCES AND FEATURES OF EARTH 4. : Earthquake Features Lab geological features involved with earthquake activity and relate earthquake features to plate tectonics. 10. : Volcanic Features Lab and distinguish various geological features involved with volcanic activity. 14. : Mapping features of areas using geologic and topographic maps. 15. : Create a Topographic Map In this assignment, you will create a topographic map of an area. Pencil Crayons or colored pencils 17. Special Special assignments are used 2012 Glynlyon, Inc. 1
UNIT 3: FEATURES OF EARTH'S CRUST 2. : Crystal Systems 4. : Identifying a Mineral 10. : Identifying a Rock 14. : Nuclear Energy 16. Special In this assignment, you will create threedimensional models of crystals in each crystal system. six unknown minerals using color, luster, streak, hardness, cleavage, transparency, and acid reaction. unknown rocks using grain size and the existence of layers, crystals, and gas bubbles. In this assignment, you will research nuclear energy and its use for generating electricity. Special assignments are used Printer Scissors Glue or tape UNIT 4: SHAPING EARTH'S CRUST 4. : Soil Particles 8. : Ice Erosion 15. Special In this experiment, you will observe how particle size affects the soil profile. In this experiment, you will investigate how glaciers change Earth's surface. Special assignments are used 1 1/2 cups potting soil 1/2 cup sand 2 wide-mouthed juice bottles with lids 10 lbs. sand Square of window screen or kitchen strainer 2 plastic trays, about 8 x 24 inches Masking tape Pen Spoon Freezer Ruler Bucket Measuring cup UNIT 5: SEMESTER REVIEW AND EXAM 2012 Glynlyon, Inc. 2
UNIT 6: EARTH'S WATER 2. : Water Purification 5. : Water Conservation 8. Experiment: Porosity and Permeability 13. Experiment: Fresh Water vs. Saltwater 17. Special In this experiment, you will purify water using a solar still. In this assignment, you will research ways to conserve water. In this experiment, you will measure porosity and permeability. In this experiment, you will compare freshwater and saltwater. Special assignments are used 1 cup of dirt 4 cups of water Small glass Large glass bowl Optional: Colored pencils or markers Graduated cylinder 6 clear, plastic cups Permanent marker Metric ruler Large, medium, and small pebbles (about 1 cup each) 4 tablespoons salt 2 clear glasses Measuring cup Tablespoon 2 eggs 2 plastic cups Spoon Marker Freezer Clear plastic wrap Small, round rock Sunshine Gravel, sand, and dirt (about 1 cup each) Funnel 3 coffee filters Ring stand Stopwatch or watch with a second hand Stove Small pot Stopwatch or watch with a second hand 2 pie plates or shallow pans about the same size 2012 Glynlyon, Inc. 3
UNIT 7: EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE 3. : Layers of the Atmosphere 7. : Solar Energy 8. Alternate : Temperature 10. : Air Circulation 11. Alternate : Barometers 14. : Greenhouse Effect 16. Special the layers of the atmosphere and create a model of the atmospheric layers. In this assignment, you will illustrate the Sun's relationship with Earth. In this assignment, you will predict a material's albedo and heat absorption capability and observe the relative heat absorption of different materials. air circulation patterns and relate pressure and temperature to air flow. In this assignment, you will create a barometer and measure air pressure and relate air pressure to weather conditions. In this assignment, you will create your own "greenhouse" to demonstrate the greenhouse effect. Special assignments are used Crayons, markers, or colored pencils Crayons, markers, or colored pencils Sheet of black paper Sheet of white paper Window Sunlight shining through the window Coffee can or glass jar Large balloon Rubber band (big enough to fit around the top of the coffee can or jar) Toothpick Glue Straw Index card 2 shoe boxes or any other boxes that are similar in size Sheet of clear plastic (plastic wrap) or a pane of glass 2 thermometers for measuring air temperatures Watch or stop watch and pen to record temperature results 2 lamps (only needed if it's a cloudy day) 2012 Glynlyon, Inc. 4
UNIT 8: EARTH'S WEATHER AND CLIMATE 2. : Weather or Climate? 4. : Clouds and Weather 5. : Clouds and Rain 9. : Control the Weather 12. : Research Your Climate 16. : Predict the Weather 18. Special between weather and climate conditions. different types of clouds and relate clouds to weather conditions. In this assignment, you will create a cloud in a bottle and examine rainfall amounts in your local area. In this assignment, you will describe how temperature differences and humidity produce weather conditions. In this assignment, you will illustrate and describe your climate. In this assignment, you will create weather instruments and monitor weather conditions and make a weather forecast. Special assignments are used 2-liter plastic soda bottle Matches (adult supervision required) Hot tap water Black paper Markers or crayons Pen or pencil Pen or pencil UNIT 9: ASTRONOMY 2. : Scale of the Solar System 5. : Newton's Law 11. : Identifying Galaxies 13. Special In this assignment, you will compare the sizes of the Sun and the planets. In this assignment, you will examine Newton's laws of gravity and motion in an experiment. among the types of galaxies.
