Science Class Notes: Earth's Structure, Heat Transfer, and Geology, Slides of Reasoning

Erasmushogeschool Brussel Reasoning

Notes from a science class during which students learned about Earth's structure, the three types of heat transfer, and how geologists study the Earth's layers. Topics covered include the order of Earth's layers, examples of heat transfer, and methods used by geologists to collect samples.

Monday During Class on Monday we played game involving Earth's Structure. We Reviewed the basic information for our test on Tuesday. On Monday, we got to understand a little better how Earth’s structure is laid out. We all learned the order the layers go, crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core. The Lithosphere is part of the crust and upper mantle. The Asthenosphere is part of the upper mantle and a little bit of the lower mantle. Another topic we learned about was the 3 types of heat transfer. The first type of heat transfer is Conduction. Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact. An example would be when you touch a pot on the stove your hand would burn because the pot is hot. The second example of heat transfer is Convection. Convection is heat transfer through movement in currents (liquid or gas). An example would be when water is boiling on the stove the water at the bottom gets warm. The hot water then rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a cycle. The last example of

heat transfer is Radiation. Radiation is heat transfer through waves in space. An example would be when the sun heats up the sand on the beach and when your feet step on the sand your feet would burn.

Tuesday

On Tuesday we watched a video “Amazing Planet”. One topic we learned from the video was how geologists study the Earth’s layers. An example would be volcanoes. Volcanoes shoot out parts of rock from the core giving geologists samples. Which they then collect when the lava spews out while wearing fire retardant suits,boots,gloves, and helmets. Some other examples of how geologists find samples of the Earth’s layers is Seismic waves, core samples, and more. This is what we call stratigraphy (The study of rock layers and their geologic history). Volcanoes and Plate Tectonics were also a very important topic on Tuesday. When volcanoes shoot out there lava it flows outward in all different direction causing smoke. When the volcanoes harden after several months vegetation (little plants) grows. After roughly a year several large

then slowly drifted apart to the positions they are in now. In this

gizmo we had to first jumble up the countries and continents. Then we

had to take a picture when we tried to put it back in order. The last

thing we did on the gizmo was when we tried to fit all the countries

and continents back together into the supercontinent they were a

long time ago. Which was quite hard.

Thursday

On thursday we went back to the Pangea Gizmo. We then took

notes on the fossils, glacier,shape, and rock patterns we found. We

lined up the countries and continents trying to

make Pangea. After we had lined them up as

accurately as possible we checked out the

fossils. The fossil path actually lined up when

we put the continents and countries together.

As shown on the right. There are Fossils from the Glossopteris,

Cynognathus, Lystrosaurus, and the Mesosaurus (Dinosaur like

creatures).

Another example of the evidence we

found was the shape evidence. This pictures

show the continents and countries. This is

what they could've looked like before they

split. This matters because the shapes

somewhat fit showing the could've been like this before they split.

This is only some of the evidence that Pangaea could have existed.

Friday

On the last day of the week we talked about Hurricane Joaquin

for some of the period. As of Friday 7:50 AM the hurricane is

supposedly going to lower in strength and turn out to sea when it gets

to us. But another threat before hurricane Joaquin hits is the storm

coming from Canada. This storm is moving at a rapid pace pulling in

cold air from Canada along with winds up to 40 miles an hour and

hard rain.

But enough about hurricane Joaquin. For the rest of the period

on Friday we had to solve a mystery. The question was “Who stole

the 25,000 dollar necklace”? We had to use claims, reasoning, and

global environmental and humanitarian youth program for young

people from preschool through university with nearly 150,

members in more than 130 countries”.

Science News Article

Every day, tons of different plant species—many of them listed

as invasive—are being traded. This causes uncontrollable biological

invasions. Goldenrod, Himalayan balsam, and Chinese windmill palm

all are from continents other than Europe. They were introduced to

Switzerland (garden or ornamental plants). They then escaped into

the wild threatening the native flora. This isn't only happening in

Switzerland. This biological invasion happens on every continent

each day. This problem is global.

2nd Science News Article

Studies say we’re burning to much coal and oil causing the

temperatures in the ocean to rise. Along with causing the temperature

to rise we have caused the sea level to rise more than 160 feet. This

then could melt the entire ice sheet in Antarctica and Greenland and

so on in maybe 1000 years.Author: Ricarda Winkelmann

Summary of What I learned this Week

This week I learned the three types of heat conduction. I also

learned how geologists study the earth's structure Seismic Waves,

Volcanoes, core samples, etc. I learned how to support my claim

along with learning about Jane Goodall a Naturalist. Last but not least

I got to learn about how trading plants causes Biological problems

along with that the ice caps are melting. That pretty much summarizes

up what I learned this week.
