Activity

Task: we will use 2 containers. One black container, and the other silver. Students should predict which container would be hotter once the lamplight hits the two containers.

1. Write a hypothesis guessing which container will be hotter. The Black or the Silver container?

2. Fill in the table below every (10 minutes)

Temperature Sand	Temperature Water

3. Was your hypothesis supported Yes/No.

4. Which container conducts more heat and why?

5. What caused the temperature within the container to change?

6. Which container will lose heat faster? Why.

7. Which will conduct more heat Sand or Water?

8. What’s the process through which the lamp is giving heat to the container?

9. What will reflect heat faster water or sand?

10. In a short paragraph using at least 3 vocabulary words. Summarize what you learned. (Reflection, Absorption, Conduction, Radiation, Convection).

Reflection questions

1. what did you enjoy most about this project and why?

I enjoyed working at my own pace, because i took enough time to finish my work.

2.what was most challenging for you during this project and why?

Photographic evidence, because finding some pictures took time.

3. what new skill did you learn from doing this project?

I learned the skill of using animoto.com

4.is there anything that you could have done to improve any of your work? explain

Done the quiz on time so i get my 5 points for being ready

5. what would you change about this project?

Presenting it

Plate tectonic theory

Plate Tectonics is the theory that the Earths outer shell is divided into several plates that move over the mantle. the plates act like hard shells. the convection currents cause movement of magma that makes plate move. because of convection currents the movement of magma  makes plates move.

Each plate move in a certain way, some slide past each other, other plates go away from each other or plates coming toward each other. millions of years ago continents were together it was called pangaea, but because of plate tectonics, plates move a little bit away from each other every year making continents a little further away. And also when we did puzzles of the continents certain continents fit together proving that the pangaea once existed. I think the theory of plates tectonics is true because of the evidence above, and due to research done by scientists.

summary about earthquake tsunamis

Stress in earths outer layer cause the fault to push, because of this rocks slip past each other releasing energy. the energy released goes in waves inside earths crust and cause the earth to shake meaning an earthquake. in the epicenter is were it happen on the surface so we feel it as it happens. using seismographs the earthquakes waves are measured to see how large thet got which the magnitude indicates. tsunamis are large  waves that can cause many buildings to collapse due to their force. it happens on the focus which is the area where an earthquake begin underground. there are 3 types of waves L wave, S wave, P wave.

Ring of fire

The ring of fire is an environment where large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen in the basin of the pacific ocean, the ring of fire has an importance is it help the earth get rid of its pressure under earths crust.

Plate Tectonics

Plate Tectonics 

Theory of Plate Tectonics: the crust that breaks apart into section of plates on top of the liquid menthol

Tectonic Plates: A section of the plate or crust.

Convection Currents: the movement of magma that makes plates move.

Summary

Plate Tectonics is the theory that the Earths outer shell is divided into several plates that move over the mantle. the plates act like hard shells. the convection currents cause movement of magma that makes plate move.

Questions

1. What type of boundaries are there?
There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries. divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries
2. what is oceanic crust and what is continental crust difference?
Oceanic crust is under the water and it is composed of basalt rock, continental crust is on land and is made up of granite rock.

Type of Volcanoes

Types of volcanoes

Shield Volcano: Comes Out very slowly and makes edges on the outside of the mountain.

Cinder Cone Volcano: is cone lava that comes out and makes cinder outside.

Composite Volcano: when lava comes out quick and explode.

Hot Spots: middle point is the really hot spot shoots up.

Summary 

the difference between magma and lava is  magma is melted rock below Earths crust, and lava is melted rock that comes out of a volcano. volcanoes form deep inside Earth, and rocks from the mantle melt and moves up to the surface to shoot lava out through the hotspot.

Questions

1. where is magma located?

Magma is located deep in the continental crust.

2. what volcano shoots exploding lava?

composite volcano.
