    Week of November 18-22, 2019


    Date:11/18/19
    Topic: Geologic Change
    Learning Goal: Describe ways in which Earth has changed over time.


    Student Activities
    Station 1: Students will complete their Geologic Change Vocab Cards 

    • Fossil-the preserved remains or evidence of past living things
    • Weathering-the process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces 
    • Erosion- the moving of sediment from one place to another
    • Deposition- depositing of sediment in a new place
    • Sediment- rock material that forms when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces 
    • Sedimentary Rock- rock formed of mechanical, chemical, or organic sediment
    • Empirical Evidence-a source of knowledge acquired by means of observation or experimentation
    • Climate-the weather conditions in an area over a long period of time
    • Mass Extinction- extinction of many species on Earth within a short period of time
    • Land bridge-connects two continents that were previously separated


    Station 2: Students will take a video quiz after watching a Geologic Time Change video.

    Station 3: Students will watch and create Cornell notes from an on-line tutorial. Examine the Evidence: Earth Changing over time.

    7th Grade
    Date: November 5, 2019
    Topic: Temperature
    Learning Goal(s):Understand that all objects have temperature due to kinetic energy of their molecules.
    Home Learning: Students will complete assignments not finished during class and study for their test on Friday.

    Temperature Vocabulary Definitions 

    • Temperature- the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material
    • Average Kinetic Energy- the average kinetic energy in in a material
    • Molecule- a group  of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound
    • State of Matter- is one of the four distinct forms that matter take on
    • Liquid- is a substance with a definite volume but not a definite shape.
    • Gas- is a substance that does not have a definite volume or shape.
    • Solid- is a substance with a definite volume and shape. Particles are close together and do not move freely.
    • Melting Point-The process in which a solid becomes a liquid
    • Boiling Point- the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into vapor
    • Freezing Point-When temperatures of a liquid are lowered, causing a solid to form.
    • Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy cannot be created nor destroyed only transformed
