Your Learning Goal:Scientists support their ideas with evidence such as facts found in books or articles,

observations, and results of investigations.

evidence for landforms other interesting factsPlease respond to the following two prompts in

your notebook using complete 6

th

gradesentences. When you have fully answered the

questions, you may draw in your chart on page

2R.

Did you see anything in the slideshow that

reminded you of something that could help us

improve our Frayer Model (the chart we did with

post its)?

What examples of landforms did you see in the

slideshow yesterday that you didnt think of

before?

After you read, record at least three questions you

have about your region.

Share your questions with your group and add to

your list if you hear questions you like!

Your Learning Goal:Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions provide evidence that Earths surface changes.

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are sudden, local events, but may affect largeareas.

observation and an inference?

Earth Shattering Events 09/15/11

What do you observe about how

Earths surface changes?

Observations are characteristics

that someone notes about an object

or event (either with their sense or

with tools).

Inferences are interpretations about

an object or event based on pre-

existing conceptions.

Pre-write:09/15/11

What do you think is the

difference between anobservation and aninference?


6/13

Your Learning Goal:Earthquakes cause vibrations called seismic waves that spread outward from a focus.

Earthquakes are sudden motions along breaks in Earths crust called faults.

Your Learning Goal:Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in a pattern around the world. Volcanic

eruptions often occur in regions that also have earthquakes.

Analyzing Seismic Data 09/19/11

1. Where do earthquakes occur?

2. Where do volcanic eruptionsoccur?

3. Do big earthquakes and smallearthquakes occur in the same or

different regions?

4. Do earthquakes happen nearvolcanic eruptions?

5. What sizes of earthquakes are

most common?

6. What patterns do you notice?

7. What similarities do you seebetween the earthquake andvolcano data?

Scientific Modeling 09/20/11

Do earthquakes/volcanic

eruptions occur everywhere onEarth?

Do earthquakes/volcaniceruptions happen in the same ordifferent locations?

What patterns do you see in thedata?

Is there a relationship betweenthe continents coastlines and

where the activity occurs?

List 2-3 main ideas you gatheredfrom your data:

09/20/11

Develop at least two questionswith your group that you can askabout your model (what do youneed to include or figure out inorder to make your model more

scientifically accurate?):

Make sure your models represent all

of the evidence you collected that fits

your region. This includesearthquake data and volcanic

eruption data. Some regions may

have different amounts, but all

contain evidence of some seismic or

volcanic activity.

Your Learning Goal:Earths surface moves slowly and continuously, not just

during catastrophic events. GPS is a tool used for directmeasurement of slow surface movement. Differentareas of Earths surface move in different directions

and at different speeds.Table of Contents:
