Science Olympiad - Dynamic Planet Latest Update Graded A+ USGS topographic maps detailed record of a land area, giving geographic positions and elevations for both natural and man-made features. They show the shape of the land the mountains, valleys, and plains by means of brown contour lines stream order The concept that describes the hierarchy of stream types (see image) Perennial streams Water flows in the stream at least 90 percent of the time in a well defined channel. Int...

[Note to teachers and students: This lesson was designed as a follow-up to the Weathering and River Erosion lessons. We recommend doing those activities before trying this one.] Vocabulary: climate, erosion, precipitation, sandstone, shale, vegetation, valley, weathering Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. Erosion is the removal and movement of soil, rocks, and other materials from one place to another on Earth’s surface. What are some forces that might caus...

physical weathering - correct answerdisintegration to smaller pieces no chemical transformation increase in surface area ex. hammer rock wedging!!! water seeps through snd expands when frozen chemical weathering - correct answerchemical transformation of minerals to secondary minerals that are weaker in structure ex. rust (oxidation) biological weathering - correct answerplants and animals, microbes to transform rocks -breakdown into dirt and usable materials basaltic magma - corre...

Scientific Method - Answer An emperical method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses. - Acceptable experimentation techniques to ensure results are not skewed - Objectivity needed for valid results - Peer review - Experiments must be performed and recorded in a way that it can be reproduced to verify answers The Steps of ...

GACE Middle Grades Science Exam Questions With 100% Correct Answers Tidal hypothesis - answerTheory that the solar system started with a near collision of sun and large star. Few astronomers believe this theory. condensation hypothesis - answersolar system began with rotating clouds of dust and gas. Condensation happened in center to form sun, and smaller parts of clouds formed. More astronomers believe in this idea. Core - answerOuter core- liquid; inner core- solid. Very dense in center...
