Task 1:
Review sedimentary rock formation -
1) Watch the demos to observe what formed in last week's demo and what this has in common with limestone 2) Turn to p. 67 3) Title the page: Investigation Reflection 4) Answer the following questions on this page using COMPLETE SENTENCES: - a) Make a claim that answers this question: Was it a physical change or a chemical change that occurred in this investigation? - b) Describe the evidence that supports your claim in part a. - c) Make a prediction that explains what you think this investigation has to do with the goal question (how is limestone formed). - d) Compare the effect acid has on the white materials in your cup with the effect it has on calcium carbonate powder, limestone, and sea shells. - e) What does what you wrote in "d" allow us to infer about how limestone is made and what it is made of?
Task 2: 1) Turn to p. 68 in your science notebook 2) Record the date and title the page: Igneous Rock Observations 3) Record the Goal Question: How do we identify igneous rocks? 4) Read through the information in this document and copy the chart into your notebook to record your observations: Igneous Rock Observations
5) Complete the observation activity
6) Be sure to answer the following questions on p. 69 in your science notebook:
a) Which rocks are granitic? b) Which rock has a glassy appearance? How did it form? c) Which rocks suggest that gases were escaping while they cooled?
Task 3:
On p. 69, draw a detailed visual representation of how the 2 kinds of igneous rocks form (intrusive and extrusive).
Closure: 1) In the third section of your notebook, draw the rock cycle (without using your notes) 2) Include the names of the different types of rock and indicated with arrows the processes that occur within the rock cycle
Homework:
Start reviewing for quiz on Day 3.
Week 14, Day 2
PTT:
1) Turn to p. 70 in your science notebook
2) Record the date
3) Record the Goal Question: What are some of the ways the rock cycle can happen?
4) Get a copy of the lab paper and tape/glue it to this page
5) Read over the lab instructions while you wait for further instructions Crayon Rock Cycle Lab
Task 1:
1) Follow the instructions to complete the crayon rock cycle lab
2) Clean up your station when you are finished
Task 2: 1) Answer the reflection questions (graded assignment): can be found in your google drive science folder (link for teachers only here). Make a copy and put it in your google drive science folder as well. Use my diigo links under "rocks and minerals" or "rock cycle" to help you complete the questions as needed. Answer the questions with LOTS of detail.
Reminder: What did we do to simulate the rock cycle? Weathering: shave crayons, Erosion: pick up crayons and move them, Deposition: drop crayon shavings onto aluminum foil & fold into packet.Compaction to form Sedimentary Rocks: put packet into vise & apply light pressure. Heat & Pressure to form Metamorphic Rocks: put packet into vise & apply heavy pressure. Melting and Cooling to form Igneous Rocks: melt crayon shavings, pour over ice cubes to form "pumice," into ice water to form "obsidian," and over warm/hot water to form intrusive rocks, such as "diorite" and granite."
Closure: Take a look at this diagram. Think to yourself: Does it accurately represent the rock cycle? Do you think doing a lab that mimics the rock cycle will help you understand it better?
Homework:
- Study for tomorrow's quiz (p. 62 and 63 in your science notebook)
- Complete the lab reflection questions for Day 4 of class
Week 14, Day 3
PTT: Take the quiz (linked on the home page)
Task 1:
1) Go to your google science folder that I created and shared with you (it is called "P_ Science7 - Last Name, First Name).
2) Open the document called "Last Name, First Name - Crayon Rock Cycle Questions"
3) Complete these questions about the lab and what we did and learned.
Task 2:
1) Read over your rock cycle diagram on p. 62
2) Using this, complete the "Journey on the Rock Cycle" paper - YOU decide where to start and which way to go! The rock cycle can progress in many different orders. Be sure to go through each type of rock at least once.
(Get it out of the basket.)
3) Write this onto p. 71 and record the date - it will be your outline for the next task (your rock cycle project)
4) Record the Goal Question: What are some of the ways the rock cycle can happen?
Task 3: GRADED ASSIGNMENT (Due November 20)
1) Read over the following project expectations You will create a rock cycle comic strip on a piece of paper or online (alternative options: video, prezi with pictures) that represents your journey through the rock cycle. It must include:
Rubric (cartoon) 1. There must be text and colored illustrations at least 5 colors in every box AND every slide must be numbered. 2. Must use rock characteristics of Crystals, Fossils, Gas Bubbles, Ribbon-like layers, Glassy Surfaces, sand or pebbles in your rock cartoon. Use a legend to accurately label the characteristics in your cartoon. 3. Identify whether your rock is sedimentary, metamorphic, origneous in your storyline. Use your legend tooutline the cartoon box the color of your rock. 4. Underline the 5 process of rocks changing in your cartoon story; compacting & cementing, cooling, melting, weathering & erosion, and heat & pressure 5. Synthesis: a creative title of your cartoon that incorporates the story, cartoon and rock cycle.
Rubric (iMovie) 1. There must be narration, sound effects and music included in your iMovie. 2. Must use rock characteristics of Crystals, Fossils, Gas Bubbles, Ribbon-like layers, Glassy Surfaces, sand or pebbles in your rock iMovie. 3. Identify whether your rock is sedimentary, metamorphic, origneous in your storyline. Use your legend tooutline the cartoon box the color of your rock. 4. Include the various processes using some form of pictures, sound effects, drawings or simple explaination;compacting & cementing, cooling, melting, weathering & erosion, and heat & pressure 5. Synthesis: a creative title of your cartoon that incorporates the story, cartoon and rock cycle.
Closure: Reflect on what you got done today. What do you still need to do in order to finish this assignment?
Homework: 1) Crayon Rock Cycle questions should already be completed in class 2) Rock Cycle Comic Strip or video due November 20th
Week 14, Day 4
PTT: Look at the examples of the comic strips in yesterday's lesson. Read them over. What does this represent? Could the comic have gone in a different order?
Task 1: Discussion about the connection between layers/plates and the rock cycle - how can we connect these pieces of content? how are they related? [Since I'm sick, just think to yourself about these issues. We can talk about them on Tuesday.]
Specifically: What role do the plate movements have in the rock cycle? What role does magma have in the rock cycle (how is it made)? What layers are affected by the rock cycle?
Task 2: GRADED ASSIGNMENTS (due Thursday, November 20) 1) Period 7: Sorry I didn't share the crayon rock cycle questions with you yesterday. They are now in your google science folder called "P7 Science 7 - Last Name, First Name". Finish these questions first - you should be done with them before the end of class. (If you are in another class and have already completed these questions, move onto the next step - working on your rock cycle assignment.) 2) Work on your rock cycle assignment that you began yesterday. Remember to follow ALL directions from yesterday's lesson (task 3).
