With the 3 states of Matter, describe how the molecules move in each state and why. Give (2) examples of how you can go from one state of matter to another.
Solids stick together/little movement
Liquid moves around slowly
Gas moves around very fast

The Atmosphere consists of five unique layers (the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere, and the exosphere). Can you tell me one fact about each layer?
Troposphere- We live here / weather happens here
Stratosphere- Commercial planes fly here / Ozone
Mesosphere- Middle Layer / Protects from Meteors
Thermosphere- Northern Lights / Extreme Temps
Exosphere- Satellites Orbit / Thinnes+Outermost

Explain how rocks can change from one type to another. Use the Starburst Lab for your example.
Starts as sedimentary because all the pieces are being layered together. We turn it into a ball and flatten it out using pressure and heat to make it become metamorphic. The final step is to get cooking, and we see the starburst turn into a liquid, but after they cool and harden, they become an igneous rock.
