test. Include materials and procedure.
Warmup 9/14/12
• You are testing the effect of sunlight on plant
growth. You are testing five plants, exposing
each one to a different amount of light. What
can you do to make sure that it is the light that

• What type of evidence about the inside of the
earth do you think is most important and
why?
Warmup 9/20/12

helped geologists understand the composition
of the earth?
• How do geologists get rocks from deep within
the earth (up to 100km)
Exit Ticket/Homework 9/20/12
• What are the two reasons that our planet
stays warm on the inside?
Warmup 9/21/12
• Explain why the pressure increases as you go
deeper into the earth
• Create one “remembering” question based on
what has been discussed so far in earth
science
Exit Ticket 9/21/12
• You have just met a creature from earth’s
mantle (so weird!)
• In a few of your own sentences, explain the
earth’s crust to this creature
• How is it different from the mantle? How is it
the same? What is unique about it?
• Bonus points for drawing the mantle creature
Warmup 9/24/12
• Write 3 facts you know about the earth’s core.
• If you cannot come up with 3 facts, replace
any of the facts with questions.
Exit Ticket & Homework 9/24/12
• Without the core, how would life on earth be
different on the surface?
• Draw the layers & sublayers of the earth.
Label and describe ONE of those sublayers
Warmup 9/26
• What two things are responsible for the fact
that right now is an excellent time to see
aurorae (Northern Lights)?
• From now through the end of October, the
autumn sky offers the right ingredients for some
of the most dazzling Northern Lights. Because
the summer light is receding and the winter chill
has not yet arrived, this one of the prime times
to head north for viewing.
• According to space.com, auroras peak in twice a
year -- around the autumnal equinox and vernal
equinox -- when geomagnetic storms or
disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field are
the strongest.
• If you're hoping to catch the brilliant light show
and want to stay in the U.S., Anchorage, Alaska
may be your prime location. Solar activity is
heavy, making these electromagnetic displays
more colorful and larger.
Exit Ticket 9/26/12
