Volcanoes
Note: Since you normally receive a lecture online, have power notes, notes, and so many other resources there should be no problem in answering a quiz with specific key terms so study hard all the topics on the lecture guide. This will be a hard quiz for someone who did not watch videos, read power notes, and studied key terms.

Objectives:
Direct Content Objectives:
Describe and differentiate the layers of Earth and the interactions among them.
Connect surface features to surface processes that are responsible for their formation.
Analyze the scientific theory of plate tectonics and identify related major processes and features as a result of moving plates.
Analyze how specific geologic processes and features are expressed in Florida and elsewhere.
Indirect Content Objectives:
Explain the formation of planetary systems based on our knowledge of our Solar System and apply this knowledge to newly discovered planetary systems.
Describe the geologic development of the present day oceans and identify commonly found features.
Differentiate and describe the various interactions among Earth systems, including: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.
Identify, analyze, and relate the internal (Earth system) and external (astronomical) conditions that contribute to global climate change.
Explain how the scientific theory of evolution is supported by the fossil record, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, molecular biology, and observed evolutionary change.
Higher Learning Objectives:
The student will organize information to show understanding or relationships among facts, ideas, and events (e.g., representing key points within text through charting, mapping, paraphrasing, summarizing, comparing, contrasting, or outlining);
The student will record information and ideas from primary and/or secondary sources accurately and coherently, noting the validity and reliability of these sources and attributing sources of information;
Practical Science:
Define a problem based on a specific body of knowledge, for example: biology, chemistry, physics, and earth/space science, and perform scientific method
Determine appropriate and consistent standards of measurement for the data to be collected in a survey or experiment.
Collect, organize, and analyze data sets, determine the best format for the data and present visual summaries from the following:
Recognize that the strength or usefulness of a scientific claim is evaluated through scientific argumentation, which depends on critical and logical thinking, and the active consideration of alternative scientific explanations to explain the data presented.
Identify sources of information and assess their reliability according to the strict standards of scientific investigation.
Describe how scientific inferences are drawn from scientific observations and provide examples from the content being studied.
Recognize the role of creativity in constructing scientific questions, methods and explanations.
Mastery Classroom Tasks:
Reading Check Instructions:
This
thread is for discussion of the Human Sexual Reproduction Discussion
Have you watched the vodcasts / playlists yet? If not, do so before
participating in the discussion (see links above)
Teacher Question:
Tasks:
Post a comment on discussion thread briefly stating:
1) At least one thing you learned by watching the videos [THIS MUST BE UNIQUE
WITHIN EACH VIDEO DISCUSSION]
2) At least one question you have after watching the video (if you understood
everything, you must ask a question that goes beyond it)
3) Choose and answer a question from a previous student (IF YOU ARE THE FIRST
ONE, ANSWER THE TEACHER POSED QUESTION. YOU MAY NOT ANSWER A QUESTION THAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED. YOU ARE USUALLY SAFE IF YOU ANSWER THE STUDENT RIGHT
BEFORE YOU)
4) Why you think it is important to learn about this ?
5) How can this information be used in real life?
6) Did you like the video and/or topic? Why?
1. I learned that volcanoes can tell us a lot about the the history of the earth's rocks from volcanoes it can tell us about the compositional layers of the earth, it can tell us what it's doing inside ignoeous rocks and it can tell us about volcanic eruptions eruptions that happened a long tme ago.2. i didnt understand fractional crystallizations and partical melting3. they discovered that materials of different compositons will melt at differetn temperatures and different pressures and form different kinds of lava.4. It is important to learn about volcanoes because we learn how to predict volcanoes, we understand volcanoes and we can save many lives.5. This information can be used in real life to know what goes on in a volcano and we can do to predict volcanoes6. I liked this topic better than earthquakes, its more interesting and i learned what causes a volcanoe, the different types of volcanoes and the different types of rock.
1) I learned that temperature and pressure affect whether magma in the earths layers becomes solid or stays as magma.
2)I did not understand what fractional crystalization and partial melting is.
3) Your question does not make sense.
4) It is important to learn about volcanoes because they help us learn about earth history, the composition of earth, and whats happening inside the earth.
5) This information can be useful if you want to live in areas with high volcanic activity. It will allow you to understand your surroundings and know what to do in case of an eruption.
