Heat Transfer is really neat
You're cooking food and accidentally touch the hot pan. What type of heat transfer is this?
Conduction
This sphere contains ice and snow
Cryosphere
this layer of the atmosphere contains satellites and has very little gas
exosphere
Animals drinking from a lake
biosphere and hydrosphere
True or false: observations don't use all 5 senses
False!
You might not be able to see it, but you can feel it
Radiation
Rocks, minerals and metals found in the earth are apart of the...
Geosphere
what layer of the atmosphere do us humans live in?
troposphere
River weathering & eroding the rocks and minerals
hydrosphere and geosphere
What's an inference?
the process of drawing conclusions based on evidence and reasoning (believing something is true based on evidence)
The atmosphere, mantel and oceans have this type of current
Convection
Contains rain, lakes, rivers and other bodies of water.
Hydrosphere
this layer helps protect earth from meteors
mesosphere
Water evaporates from a lake into the air, forming clouds. The clouds eventually form rain and it falls to the ground. In which spheres does this cycle happen?
A. Geosphere/cryosphere/hydrosphere
B. Cryosphere/hydrosphere/biosphere
C. Hydrosphere/atmosphere/geosphere
D. Biosphere/atmosphere/geosphere
C. Hydrosphere/atmosphere/geosphere
two groups of students are doing an experiment. Group A got different results than group B. What should both groups do?
A. Throw out their results and try again
B. Group A should copy Group B's results
C. They should compare their results and procedures
C. They should compare their results and procedures
Never copy or throw out your results!
True or false: conduction currents in the mantel causes earths plates to move
False! It's Convection Currents
all living things are apart of this sphere
Biosphere
What is the greenhouse effect?
Heat trapped in Earth’s Atmosphere due to Earth’s Gases
Earth’s spheres interact in many ways. Which scenario best describes how the hydrosphere and atmosphere interact?
A. A heavy snowfall adds mass to a glacier.
B. Polluted air kills several animal species.
C. Magma erupts and releases trapped gases.
D. Ocean currents influence weather patterns.
D. Ocean currents influence weather patterns.
What are the two types of observations we have talked about?
Double Points: What are the differences between them?
Qualitative: made using our senses (how something feels, smells, the color and so on)
Quantitative: has a number of(how many of something; such has weight and height)
What directions does heat move?
Hot to cold
This sphere has 5 different layers
Atmosphere
What are the 5 layers of the atmosphere in order (start from the bottom)
tropospheres
stratosphere
mesosphere
thermosphere
exosphere
Which set of the spheres on Earth would best represent animal species in a forest?
A. atmosphere, geosphere, cryosphere
B. geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere
C. biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere
D. cryosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere
C. biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere
What's the difference between replications and repetition? Why is it important to do both?
Replication: you do other scientists work
Repetition: you do your own work over again
It's important this way we can validate our own and other scientists results.
