Put the scrambled C.E.R parts below in order.
Part A: To start, in the video the dog is seen trying to get outside through the doggie door, but he can not get through.
Part B: The dog is trying to lose weight.
Part C: I know that dogs should be able to fit thorugh doggie doors and this dog can't
The correct order is Part B, A, C.
The dog is trying to lose weight. To start, the dog is seen trying to get outside though the doff door, but he can not get through. I know that dogs should be able to fit through doggie doors and this dog can't.

What is the rock cycle? *Must include the different types of rock and the processes needed to get there. You may draw a model if that is easier.
The process that describes how one type (classification) of rock becomes another type (classification) of rock.
Weather + Erosion = Sediment Compaction + Cementation = Sedimentary rock
-> Heat + Pressure = Metamorphic rock
-> Melting + Cooling = Igneous rock

A family wants to build a home. Where would you advise them to build and why?
A cliff besides the oceans
A hillside in the mountains
They should build on a hillside because it is not coming into constant contact with agents of weathering. Their home will ultimately last longer.

What is the Richter scale? What is the range? When does SEVERE begin?
the most common standard of measuring the magnitude of earthquakes based on seismic activity
1 - 10
6 - 10 = severe

Yes it is valid and reliable. To start, it is valid because the data the scientists are collecting matches the purpose of their experiment. It is also reliable because the data is the similar from scientist to scientist.

What is the best non-renewable energy source to use? Why do you think that?
Nuclear because it gives the most energy and does not pollute.

Observe. We observe with our five senses.

1.) Define Natural Resource, give examples
2.) What two categories are Natural Resources Broken into? Give examples of each.
1.) materials/energy sources that are found on Earth naturally and are used/valued by people. Such as: water, coal, trees, animals, sun, natural gas, oil.
2.) Non Renewable: Coal, Oil, Nuclear, Natural Gas
OR Renewable: Sun, Water, Trees, Animals

Explain to me how Solar Power works. :)
The suns energy is captured using technology, such as PV cells. The energy from the sun is collected using the PV cells and stored to use as energy.

What is the difference between weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, erosion is the movement of those broken down rocks.

TRUE or FALSE: It is a BAD THING when a scientists Hypothesis is wrong.
FALSE! Scientist value mistakes. You still learn more.
You re-design an experiment to see if you can find the actually solution.
