Reed 6th Grade EOG Review

I couldn't decide what to dress up as for Halloween. To help me get ideas I looked at all the costumes at my house, I looked at the costumes at the store, and I asked my friends what they thought I should be. I decided to go as a ghost.

On Halloween night the first thing you need to do is put on your costume. Next get your mom or dad and go to your neighbor's house. Knock on the door. When they answer say trick or treat and hold out your bag for a piece of candy. Do this at every house on your street.

Hallow is on October 31st. On this night houses pass out candy to kids dressed up in costumes, like ghosts, witches, princesses, cats, and cowboys. To celebrate Halloween people watch scary movies, go to haunted houses, and get lost in corn mazes.

After trick or treating, Billy stayed up late eating his whole bag of candy. The next day he felt sick and tired.

On both Halloween and Easter you get candy, but the candy looks very different. Easter candy is usually wrapped in bright colors. On the other hand, Halloween candy is often black and orange or it could have monsters on the wrappers.

What type of text structure?
Earthquakes - Some countries, such as Japan, or parts of a country, like California in the United States, have a lot of earthquakes. In these places it is a good practice to build houses and other buildings so they will not collapse when there is an earthquake. This is called seismic design or "earthquake-proofing".

Tropical Depressions - Hurricane Katrina began as Tropical Depression Twelve over the southeastern Bahamas on August 23, 2005. The depression later strengthened into a tropical storm on the morning of August 24 where the storm was also named Katrina. Katrina continued to move into Florida, and became a Category 1 hurricane only two hours before it made landfall around Hallandale Beach on the morning of August 25. The storm weakened over land, but became a hurricane again while entering the Gulf of Mexico.

What type of text structure?
Fires - Fire needs three things to burn: oxygen, fuel, and heat. Fuels can be wood, tinder, coal, or any other substance that will easily oxidize. Therefore, a fire can be stopped in three different ways, by removing any of the three things it needs to burn.   The fuel can be removed. If a fire burns through all of its fuel and extra nearby fuel is removed, the fire will stop burning. The oxygen can be removed. This is called "smothering" a fire. Fires cannot burn in a vacuum or if they are covered in carbon dioxide.   The heat can be removed. The most common way to remove heat is to use water to absorb that heat, putting the fire out.

Volcanos - Have you ever wondered what the inside of a volcano looks like?  Deep underground is a magma chamber.  The magma chamber is under the bedrock of the earth's crust.  The conduit or pipe runs from the magma chamber to the top of the volcano.  The conduit connects the magma chamber to the surface.  Most volcanoes also have a crater at the top.  Volcanoes are quite a sight, and you can enjoy this site all over the universe.  Volcanoes are found on planets other than Earth, like the Olympus Mons on Mars.

What type of text structure?
 Lightning and Thunder - Lightning and thunder are related events.  Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity that occurs between a cloud and the ground or between two clouds in the sky. A lightning bolt can be several miles long and can be straight or forked. It is very hot, with an average temperature of 34 000 degrees Celsius. This causes the air around the electric bolt to expand, producing lots of sound energy. It is this sound energy that we hear as thunder.  So, lightning and thunder are caused by the same event, but lightning is light energy, or electromagnetic energy, whereas thunder is sound energy.  Thus, we see lightning and hear thunder.
