Earth Ever-Changing Final Assessment Review Sheet ______________________
Name
Congratulations! You have almost made it to the end of our Ever-Changing Earth Unit. In order to assess what you know and are able to do, we are going to have an assessment (like a test, but harder ). The assessment will include multiple choice, true/false, short answer (rock identification), brief essay questions, and a take home portion of the test. You will be having your assessment on Wednesday April 28th (GREEN)/ Thursday April 29th (YELLOW). To prepare for the assessment, you will be creating flashcards to study with before the test. You will also be given the essay questions for the test in advance so you can prepare your responses. Today in class you will have a full review day to prepare and study for your assessment. To fully prepare you should study at least 30 minutes a night by using flash cards, studying old quizzes, and going over notes. If you show that you have made and studied with your note cards and done some preparation for your essay questions, you will receive 20 extra points towards your assessment. This sheet is intended on being used as a study guide to both help create your flash card and study some of the big ideas we have been exploring. VOCABULARY WORDS: The following are vocabulary words you should know for the assessment. Make flashcards for these to make sure you know them.
Geology Stratigraphy Geologic Time Scale Radiomentric Dating Eon Era Period Epoch Anthropocene Convection Conduction Radiation Convection Current Continental Crust Oceanic Crust Mantle Inner Core Outer Core Plate Tectonics Magnitude Richter Scale Plate Earthquake Volcano Mountain Building Plate Tectonics Alfred Wegener Plate Boundary Hot Spot Subduction Zone Buckling Zone Divergent Boundary Rift Zone Trench Transform Boundary Magma Lava Rock Cycle Igneous Weathering Cementation Compaction Deposition Erosion Sedimentary Pressure/Heat Metamorphic Melting Moho Batholith Exotic Terrain Pillow Lava Fault Continental Spreading
OVER FOR BIG IDEAS AND POSSIBLE ESSAY QUESTIONS MAKE SURE TO STUDY AT LEAST 30 MINUTES A NIGHT!!!!!
BIG CONCEPTS AND IDEAS: Review notes, readings, and inquiries (labs) to make sure you can do the below items. Also, take look a at your pre-assessment rubric for more details.
I can evaluate and describe geologic time I can describe how natural and man made processes shape the earth I can use physical properties to identify rocks and infer about the past history of the earth. I can predict the geologic story of Fort Collins and describe the natural and manmade processes that will shape its future. I can think as a scientist and use a variety of data to grow and communicate my thinking.
ESSAY QUESTIONS: The following are the essay questions that will be presented on the test. You will be required to answer 2 out of the 4 questions presented below. Feel free to outline your thinking prior to the test.
Essay Question #1: How does plate tectonics affect the surface of the earth (crust)? Start with a definition of plate tectonics and give specific examples of how and why it shapes the surface of the earth. Use scientific vocabulary . Essay Question #2: Choose one rock sample from the rock identification part of this assessment. Infer the story behind the history of this rock and how it got to be the type of rock it is today. Use your rock cycle diagram to help you plot your story. Tell about its past, present, and possible future of your rock. There will be a model posted to help get your started. Essay Question #3 (diagram provided on test): Observe the diagram below. Using your best inferring skills, tell the story of what is happening over time in these pictures. Use specific scientific vocabulary and name the specific natural processes that shaped this part of the earth. Is there an example of a place on earth that this could be a place just like this? Essay Question #4: What geologic processes drive change on planet earth? Using all of the ideas we have learned in this unit, create a concept web that connects all off the forces that change the surface of the earth. Use scientific vocabulary to support and guide your thinking.
TAKE HOME PORTION: To complete your assessment, you will be taking the final portion of your test home to be turned in by the end of next week. If this does not make it back by the your assigned date it will be counted as a zero for this portion of the assessment. MAKE SURE TO STUDY AT LEAST 30 MINUTES A NIGHT!!!!!
