Makes up the “Water” part of the
Earth.
+A. Hydrosphere
+Q. One of the 4 spheres:
Makes up the “Living” part of Earth.
+A. Biosphere
+Q. One of the 4 spheres:

Earth such as rocks and land.
+A. Geosphere
+Q. One of the 4 spheres.
Makes up the “air” and gases on
Earth.
+A. Atmosphere
+MATCHING
Atmosphere Rocks/land
Biosphere Living
Hydrosphere Gases
Geosphere Water
+MATCHING ANSWERS:
Atmosphere Rocks/land
Biosphere Living
Hydrosphere Gases
Geosphere Water
+Layers of the atmosphere:
Q. What is the tropophere?
+ A. The atmospheric layer closest
to Earth. This layer includes our
clouds and weather and gets
colder as you go up higher.
+Layers of the atmosphere
Q. This layer is the hottest layer
+Layers of the atmosphere
A. Thermosphere
+Layers of the atmosphere
Q. What is a characteristic of the
Exosphere?
+Layers of the atmosphere
A. Very few atoms in it. Furthest
layer away from Earth. Hard to tell
where it stops and where space
begins.
+Layers of the atmosphere
Q. Which layer is the coldest?
+Layers of the atmosphere
A. The mesosphere is the coldest
+Layers of the atmosphere
Q. What is a characteristic of the
stratosphere?
+Layers of the atmosphere
Stratosphere--The thin ozone layer has a high concentration of ozone (a reactive form of oxygen). This layer is mostly responsible for absorbing the UV radiation from the sun.
+Water Cycle
Q. What is the function of the
Water Cycle?
+Water Cycle
A. It recycles water over and over
+Q. What is transpiration?
+A. When plants lose water from their
leaves back into the atmosphere.
+Q. What part of the water cycle is
demonstrated by water disappearing
back into the atmosphere…ex. A
puddle disappears.
+A. Evaporation
+Q. Which part of the water cycle are
ponds, lakes and oceans an
example of?
+A. Collection
+Q. Which part of the water cycle is
when rain, sleet, or snow fall down
to Earth from the clouds?
+A. Precipitation
+Q. Define “abiotic factor”
+A. Any non-living thing
+Q. What is the difference between a
food chain and a food web?
+A. A food chain
only shows one
possibility for
energy to be
passed along;
whereas, a food
web shows many
options each biotic
factor may eat.
+A. How much original energy (from
the sun) does a consumer get from
its meal?
+A. 10%
+Q. This type of animal only eats
plants
+A. herbivore/ primary consumer
+Q. This type of animal eats plants or
animals.
+A. omnivore
+Q. This type of animal does not eat
plants, he only eats other animals.
+A. Carnivore
+Q. This type of organism uses
energy from the sun to make its own
food.
+A. producer/ autotroph
+Q. This is the highest level of
consumers. He only eats
carnivores.
+A. Tertiary consumer
+Q. This helps to break down things.
Examples are mushrooms, bacteria,
and worms.
+A. Decomposer
+Q. This is an animal that eats
herbivores.
+A. Secondary consumer.
+Q. This is an animal that only eats
plants. Another word for herbivore.
+A. Primary Consumer.
+Geosphere Matching: how are they
made?
Sedimentary heat&pressure
Metamorphic made from sediments
Extrusive Igneous made from lava
Intrusive Igneous made from magma

+Mineral/ Rock Identification:
How light bounces off
Shows a rock’s minerals
Determines color of a rock
How tightly atoms are in a rock
+Mineral/ Rock Identification:

Shows a rock’s minerals STREAK
Determines color of a rock COLOR
How tightly atoms are in a rock HARDNESS
+CONTRAST:
CONVERGENT
SUBDUCTION
DIVERGENT
TRANSFORM
+CONTRAST:
CONVERGENT--2 plates hit/collide
SUBDUCTION—1 plate goes beneath
another (type of convergent)
DIVERGENT—2 plates move apart
TRANSFORM—2 plates slip past one
another.
+HOW ARE THESE FORMED?
MOUNTAINS?
SEA FLOOR SPREADING
VOLCANOES
EARTHQUAKES
+HOW ARE THESE FORMED?
MOUNTAINS? 2 continental plates collide
SEA FLOOR SPREADING2 oceanic plates move
apart
VOLCANOES—oceanicplate subducts beneath a
continental plate
EARTHQUAKES—2 plates slip past one another.
+Q. What force causes the plates to
move?
+A. Convection currents in the
asthenosphere/mantle
+STUDY GUIDE:
Be able to make a food chain and identify the energy source,
producer, primary consumer, secondary consumer, and tertiary
consumer.
Be able to figure out how many joules each labeled organism
would receive from the sun’s original energy.
+STUDY GUIDE
Be able to explain why there are more producers than tertiary
consumers in a given food chain/ energy pyramid.
+STUDY GUIDE: Space Science
Be able to explain how day and night occur
How long it takes the earth to rotate.
How long it takes for Earth to orbit around the sun
What causes the seasons
Why is it warmer in the summer than in the winter?
How can it be summer for us, but winter somewhere else?
+ Be able to explain how day and night occur
The Earth turns in one full circle everyday. When our part of Earth is facing the sun, it is becoming daytime. As our part of Earth turns away from the sun, it is becoming night time.
How long it takes the earth to rotate.
24 hours/ 1 day
How long it takes for Earth to orbit around the sun
1 year/ 365 ¼ days
What causes the seasons
The tilt of the axis/ tilt of the Earth
Why is it warmer in the summer than in the winter?
In summer, we are getting direct sunlight and in the winter we are getting indirect sunlight.
How can it be summer for us, but winter somewhere else?
Because of the tilt of the Earth: It is possible for one (in our example the northern hemisphere) to be receiving direct sunlight, and having summer, (because we are tilted toward the Sun); however, at the same time the southern hemisphere would be tilted away from the sun (receiving indirect sunlight and experiencing winter.)
