- Write down the question AND the answer

Multiple Choice

As you travel deeper into the Earth, the TEMPERATURE ____

• increases

• decreases

• stay the same

Multiple Choice

As you travel deeper into the Earth, the pressure

• increases

• decreases

• stays the same

Open Ended

What is the difference between the inner and the outer core? Write in a full sentence

Word Cloud

Do you know this test vocabulary word? What does PRIMARILY mean?

Multiple Select

What makes up the lithosphere

• crust

• upper mantle

• lower mantle

• core

Open Ended

In your own words, describe the lithosphere... (write in a full sentence in order to get credit)

Multiple Choice

Where do CONVECTION CURRENTS occur?

• crust

• inner core

• outer core

• mantle

Multiple Choice

The average temperature on the surface of the Earth is about 75 degrees F. As you travel deeper into the Earth, the temperature increases. This difference in temperature causes convection currents. Where does most amount of heat come from that drives the convection currents?

• crust

• outer core

• inner core

• mantle

Topic 4: Using Science to Understand the Earth

If you get a question wrong, write it down!
- Write down the question AND the answer

Dropdown

A theory ​

Select answer

over time.

Multiple Choice

After completing a science experiment in class, the each group member walked up to the board and wrote down their results. The class discussed the answers. Why is this important?

• different results mean the students should change their evidence

• sharing their results helps each other understand methods and conclusions

• it's not important, we just needed to complete the task

• if other students see that their results are not the same, they can change their data and results

Open Ended

What might cause a scientific idea or theory to be changed?
