List the three variable all experiment must have.
What is IV/DV/constant.
200
This sphere contains all living things such as trees, plants and squirrels
The biosphere

This mineral property is how light reflects off of a mineral; it describes this reflection in words like shiny, metallic and dull.
What is luster.
200
The transfer of energy through empty space.
What is radiation.
200
This is the variable that the scientist changes.
What is the independent variable.
300
Weather occurs in this sphere.
The atmosphere.
300
This layer of earth is the hottest and has the most pressure.
The inner core.
300
This mineral property uses Moh's hardness scale.
What is hardness.
300
Explain how heat is transferred inside Earth through convection currents.
What is Large amounts of heat are transferred to Earth's mantle from Earth's core and the mantle itself. Heat and pressure inside the mantle cause solid mantle rock to warm up and slowly rise toward the lithosphere. When the rising rock cools, it becomes denser and sinks back through the mantle.
300
This variable does not change.
What is the constant.

What is the thinnest layer of the earth?
The crust.

The sphere of Earth that contains most of its mass.
What is the geosphere.
500
What is the thickest layer of the earth?
The mantle.
