Monday & Tuesday – We will review for our semester exam.

Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday Schedule:

Monday – Students will complete Earth’s 4 Spheres assignment.

Tuesday & Wednesday – We will begin looking at the Earth’s interior layers including the temperature, pressure, and depth.

Thursday & Friday – Students will learn about geoscientists and how they study the physical characteristics of Earth, including its composition and geologic past.

Monday & Tuesday – We will begin our new unit on Earth’s structures looking at its four spheres: geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. Students will learn how the materials cycle through these spheres at varying speeds.

Wednesday – Students will make a 4-tab foldable handbook to label the spheres and describe the different processes that relate to each.

Thursday & Friday – We will look more in depth at the geosphere, learning about the layers, changes in temperature and pressure with depth, and how these changes cause rocks to transform.
