Today (4/29) you will display what you have learned about our first three topics in Earth Science:
1: Layers of the Earth
2: Types of Rocks
3: Plate Tectonics
To show that you are proficient in these topics, you will Review each topic by clicking the topic heading below and answering some review questions. You may use the website provided and/or your notes to review. When you are ready, take the "Exit Quiz" for each topic and click submit. Please enter your name (Last Name, First Name) for the first question of each quiz. Before moving on to the next topic, see Mr. Cram to find out your score. If you have an 80% or above you may move on. If you have below and 80% you must study the topic again and retake the "Exit Quiz".
TOPICS
1: Layer of the Earth
2: Types of Rocks
3: Plate Tectonics

iPad Survey
All Students,
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey below and reflect on your use of the iPads in your science class this year. I (Mr. Cram) will not be viewing these surveys, so please do not hesitate to make any comments. The point of the survey is to get honest feedback about the iPads from your point of view. Thanks.
- Mr. Cram

Chemistry - Ionic & Covalent Bond QUIZ
For your Quiz Grade on Ionic and Covalent Compounds, you need to complete the following 3 tasks. Turn in your answers to tasks 2 and 3 at the end of the period. You can use your notes/work and the periodic table to help you:
1) Get an 80% or better on the Ionic and Covalent Bond Quizlet quiz and show Mr. Cram
2) Draw 2 Ionic and 1 Covalent Lewis Dot Structures. You may choose from the following formula units. Make sure to label each as either an "Ionic Bond" or a "Covalent Bond".
Formula Units:
3) Answer the following questions using the cartoon below:
Questions:
1) What type of Bond is shown in the cartoon above? How do you know?
2) How many valence electrons is each "Cl" atom receiving? Why is each "Cl" receiving this amount of electrons?
3) Copper (Cu) is not in group 1A or 2A, but it is behaving like metal. How many valence electrons does Copper (Cu) lose?
4) What will the charge on the Cu atom be after it gives it's valence electrons away?
5) What will be the charge on each Cl atom after they receive their valence electrons?

Environmental - Identify the Rock Type
Today (4/8) you will investigate the properties of the 3 main types of rocks, Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous, and identify 15 unknown samples based on those properties. ROCK ON!
1) Visit the "Rock Hounds" website and investigate 3 types of rocks; Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous Rocks. Answer the following for each rock type
A) How is each rock type formed?
B) What did each rock type used to be?
C) Describe where you would most likely find each rock type or it's origin.
2) Visit the "Rock Identification" website and complete the following:
A) Make a table of the three rock types, their textures and their structures/shapes
B) Complete the "Online Rock Exercise" at the bottom of the webpage and identify which rock type, Sedimentary, Metamorphic or Igneous, each image is displaying for Sample #1 - #15.
7th period - Evernote Class
Visit the Types of Rocks page and the Rock Hounds page and complete the following:
1) Make a new note in Evernote titled: Types of Rocks
2) Read the Types of Rocks article and write down the 3 main types of rocks in your notes.
3) Copy and Paste the "Lesson Summary" located at the bottom of the Types of Rocks page into your note
4) Copy and Paste the image of the Rock Cycle (Figure 4.7) into your note and explain how each rock type can become another type. For example, how does sedimentary rock become metamorphic rock?
5) Make a voice recording that identifies the three types of rocks and at least 1 example of each type. For more examples of rock types check out this site

Environmental - Types of Rocks
Today (4/6) you will investigate types of rocks and the rock cycle. Answer the 8 "Review Questions" at the bottom of the web page. Click the link below to ROCK N ROLL!!!
Types of Rocks
Review Questions
1. Describe the difference between a rock and a mineral.
2. Why can the minerals in a rock be a clue about how the rock formed?
3. What is the difference between magma and lava?
4. What are the three main types of rocks and how does each form?
5. Describe how an igneous rock can change to a metamorphic rock.
6. Explain how sediments form.
7. In which rock type do you think fossils, which are the remains of past living organisms, are most often found?
8. Suppose that the interior of the Earth was no longer hot, but all other processes on Earth continued unchanged. How would this affect the distribution of rocks formed on Earth?

Environmental - Layers of the Earth
Today (4/5) you will investigate the layers of the Earth and answer questions below as you read. Click the link below to get started:
Inside the Earth
Review Questions
1) Draw and label a picture of the 4 main layers of the Earth. The four layers are: the Crust, the Mantle, The Outer Core and the Inner Core. Attempt to make the layer thickness as accurate as possible.
2) What is the Lithosphere and where is it found?
3) What are 2 ways geologists learn about the layers of the Earth?
4) What is the difference between the oceanic and continental crust?
5) List two reasons that scientists know that the outer core is liquid.
6) Describe the properties of each of these parts of the Earth's interior: lithosphere, mantle, and core. What are they made of How hot are they? What are a few of their physical properties?
7) What is the difference between conduction and convection?
