11-16-09 If you want to get the email progress report, email Sundi D'Ostroph [sdostroph@mcsdga.net] from the computer you would like to receive the progress report. Monday: Students will 1. explain the effects of weathering on rock, 2. explain the characteristics of the soil horizons or layers. Today's Notes: Today students checked to see how well they have prepared for tomorrow's test. They were given 60 cumulative minutes of time to work on the Soil Scroll Script. Students that did not complete the script were to complete it at home. Homework: STUDY for the TEST tomorrow. The soil models are due WEDNESDAY. Complete the scroll script. Tuesday: Students will 1. Test their general knowledge of weathering effects on rock, 2. investigate mass movement of the land. Today's Notes: Define: 1. erosion, 2. sediment, 3. deposition, 4. gravity, 5. mass movement. The Soil Model Rubric is as follows: Name: ________________________ Class: ____Date Due ____________
The assignment is to create a 3 dimensional model of the soil profile as studied in class. The soil consists of layers or horizons. Each horizon must be labeled with a capital letter, starting with A at the top. Each layer or horizon must have different characteristics represented. How a student chooses to model the different layers is up to individual creativity. Each student has drawn the horizons, with each horizon’s characteristics, using the Prentice hall Science book page 188 to serve as an example of the soil profile.
Grading Rubric Possible Points Earned
It is in a see through container that is sealed 20 points A Horizon and characteristics 20 points B Horizon and characteristics 20 points C Horizon and characteristics 20 points Your name and class period are on it 20 points The C layer should be the bottom layer. It should be the thickest layer. It should be the lightest in color. It should have the largest pieces. The B layer is above C and below A. It is thinner than C but thicker than A. It should be darker than the C layer but lighter than the A layer. It should have some large and small pieces. The A layer is on top. It is the thinnest layer. It is the darkest in color. It has the finest particles. Homework: Study the notes. The Soil Model is due tomorrow for a Test grade. Wednesday: Students will explain how water erosion is mainly responsible for shaping the surface of the land. Today's Notes: 1. What are the agents of erosion? 2. What force moves rock and other materials downhill? 3. What are the four types of mass movement? Define: 4. runoff, 5. rill, 6. gully, 7. stream, 8. tributary, 9. flood plain, 10. meander, 11. oxbow lake, 12. alluvial fan, 13. delta, 14. ground water, 15. stalctite, 16. stalagmite, 17. karst topgraphy The Chapter 6 Tests were given back today. Homework: Study the notes. Thursday: Students will explain how glaciers cause erosion and deposition. Today's Notes: 1. Gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind are __________. 2. Landslides, mudflows, ____ and slump are four types of _____ movement. 3. How are stalctites different from stalgmites? 4. What is the major agent of erosion that has shaped Earth's land surface? 5. the amount of rain, begetation, type of soil, shape of land, and hwo people use the land all affect the amount of ___ in an area. Young steam characteristics are flows swiftly, have rapids and waterfalls, erode the stream bottom faster than the sides, Mature stream characteristics are flows smoothly, erodes more along the sides, starts to create meanders, Old stream characteristics are flows smoothly through a broad flat floodplain that it has deposited Homework: Study. Do Workbook pages 105 to 108 Friday: Students will 1. describe how ocean waves erode a coast, 2. identify features that result form deposition of waves. Friday's Notes: 1. How are young streams, mature streams and old streams different? 2. What causes sinkholes, also called subsidence, to form? Define: 3. glacier, 4. continental glacier, 5. ice age, 6. valley glacier, 7. plucking, 8. abrasion, 9. till, 10. moraine, 11. kettle Homework: Study, HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING GPS S6E5. Students will investigate the scientific view of how the Earths surface is formed. a. Compare and contrast the Earth's crust, mantle, and core including temperature, density, and composition. b. Investigate the contribution of minerals to rock composition. c. Classify rocks by their process of formation. d. Describe processes that change rocks and the surface of the Earth e. Recognize that lithospheric plates constantly move and cause major geological events on the Earth's surface. f. Explain the effects of physical processes(plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, volcanic eruption, gravity) on geological features including oceans (composition, currents, and tides). g. Describe how fossils show evidence of the changing surface and climate of the Earth. h. Describe soil as consisting of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material. i. Explain the effects of human activity on the erosion of the Earth's surface. j. Describe methods for conserving natural resources such as water, soil, and air. |
