Check with your child’s homeroom teacher for spelling list words. Lesson 12 is a review week from lessons 7-11.
Mr. Kimble’s and Mr. Weninger’s list for lesson 12:
Chapter 4 Test Study Guide
Tuesday, November 27
Vocabulary (matching)-erosion, physical weathering, chemical weathering, deposition, mass wasting, earthquake, fault, lava, magma, volcano
Labeling—be able to label a diagram with terms/vocabulary word—for example, types of tectonic plate boundaries, formations
Describe the theory of plate tectonics
Types of plate boundaries—how they are similar and different—convergent, divergent, and transform
Causes of tectonic plate movement and an understanding of what each is—subduction and convection
Types of mountains formed at different plate boundaries—mid-ocean ridges, volcanic arcs, and folded mountain ranges
Lithosphere/Asthenosphere-define each and know the components
How and where volcanoes are formed
Earthquakes—what they are, what causes them, and where they occur (in general by a fault, most often at a plate boundary)
How weathering, erosion, and deposition work together
Erosion—different forces (wind, water, organisms, glaciers) that cause erosion—differences in how these forces erode if the landscape changes (ie—rivers are able to carry heavier sediment if they move faster
Deposition—what causes it to occur (something slows down), what can be formed (deltas), what deposited first (larger sediment)
The chapter 4 science test will be Tuesday, November 27th. Students have been learning about the Earth’s surface. The study guide will be sent home before break.
We will be having a history quiz on Thursday. Students should review and study the answers to their homework questions as well as their study guides that they received today. They should also study their vocabulary lists. The quiz will cover chapters 7-9.
Mr. Weninger
Lesson 11 – /e/ sound
Fall conferences are nearly upon us and signup links have been sent out! Please note that you need to sign up using the link for every teacher with whom you would like to meet. As a reminder:
All other subjects are taught by your child’s homeroom teacher. Please use this information to determine which conferences you would like to schedule.
We look forward to meeting with you all!
Lesson 10 – ear, are, air
Chapter 3 Test Study Guide
Monday, November 5th
Vocabulary (matching)—atmosphere, biosphere, climate, condensation, evaporation, geosphere, groundwater, hydrosphere, mineral, precipitation, rock, rock cycle, transpiration, weather, uplift
Four systems of Earth—biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere—be able to define and describe each in detail—layers of atmosphere/geosphere and characteristics of each layer, how water is distributed in hydrosphere, interactions between systems (examples in notes and HW)
Types of rocks—igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic—how each forms and how the rock cycle can turn any one kind into another
Weather vs. climate—how are these two terms different
How water vapor enters the atmosphere—evaporation, transpiration, cellular respiration (what each is)
Changing states of water—liquid to gas (evaporation), gas to liquid (condensation)—energy ultimately comes from Sun
