This PowerPoint is one small part of the Geology Topics unit from www.sciencepowerpoint.com. This unit consists of a five part 6000+ slide PowerPoint roadmap, 14 page bundled homework package, modified homework, detailed answer keys, 12 pages of unit notes for students who may require assistance, follow along worksheets, and many review games. The homework and lesson notes chronologically follow the PowerPoint slideshow. The answer keys and unit notes are great for support professionals. The activities and discussion questions in the slideshow are meaningful. The PowerPoint includes built-in instructions, visuals, and review questions. Also included are critical class notes (color coded red), project ideas, video links, and review games. This unit also includes four PowerPoint review games (110+ slides each with Answers), 38+ video links, lab handouts, activity sheets, rubrics, materials list, templates, guides, 6 PowerPoint review Game, and much more. Also included is a 190 slide first day of school PowerPoint presentation.
Areas of Focus within The Geology Topics Unit: -Plate Tectonics, Evidence for Plate Tectonics, Pangea, Energy Waves, Layers of the Earth, Heat Transfer, Types of Crust, Plate Boundaries, Hot Spots, Volcanoes, Positives and Negatives of Volcanoes, Types of Volcanoes, Parts of a Volcano, Magma, Types of Lava, Viscosity, Earthquakes, Faults, Folds, Seismograph, Richter Scale, Seismograph, Tsunami's, Rocks, Minerals, Crystals, Uses of Minerals, Types of Crystals, Physical Properties of Minerals, Rock Cycle, Common Igneous Rocks, Common Sedimentary Rocks, Common Metamorphic Rocks.
This unit aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards and with Common Core Standards for ELA and Literacy for Science and Technical Subjects. See preview for more information

5. -Nice neat notes that are legible and use indentations
when appropriate.
-Example of indent.
-Skip a line between topics
-Don’t skip pages
-Make visuals clear and well drawn.
40. • Activity! Each table group will get two clear
containers filled with water.
– Teacher will place two colored ice cubes
(frozen water with food coloring) into each
container.
– One container has a heavy chain frozen in it
so that the block of ice will sink.
– Place both into the water at the same time
and record a picture of each with description
in your journal.
48. • In fluids, such as water and air, convection
is a more efficient method of heat transfer
than conduction.
– Conduction was at work in both, it transferred
less heat than convection which was visible
as the colored water moved around the
container.

52. • Activity! Conduction
– Place a styrofoam cup and wax paper cup
into two similar containers.
– Place weights into each cup so the container
cannot float.
– Place thermometers in each cup at the same
place.
– Teacher to pour 100 ml of boiling water into
graduated cylinders and then into container
(not into cup with weights).
• Caution! Water will be very hot.
– Record temperature of each on spreadsheet.
56. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
– How does this activity demonstrate conduction?
57. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
58. • Questions.
– Which cup was the better insulator of heat?
Please use data in your response.
– The styrofoam cup was the better insulator of
heat because it was ____ degrees cooler than
the wax paper cup.
59. • Questions.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
60. • Questions.
– Please measure the temperature of the water
on the outside of each container?
• Record this temperature in your journal and discuss
your findings? “Where did the heat go?”
– The water on the outside of the wax paper cup
was cooler because the thermal energy was
transferred into the cup through conduction.
62. • Questions.
– How does this activity demonstrate conduction?
– This activity demonstrates conduction because
thermal energy moved through the molecules in
the cup. This evident in the recorded
temperature changes.
63. • Demonstration (Optional) Gummy Plank
– Teacher to set-up a thin metal plank that
stretches over a candle.
– Place several Gummy Bears in a line on the
metal plank.
• Do not place a Gummy Bear directly over candle.
– Light candle and record time for each Gummy
Bear to melt / fall from the plank.

68. • Activity! Radiation and earthen materials.
– Set-up two clear containers with gravel.
– Place thermometers into gravel.
– Set-up a lamp that emits sufficient light / heat
and place over one gravel container.
– Place other container nearby but not under
the light.
– Record the temperatures of each container
every minute until temperature stabilizes.
141. • This part of the PowerPoint roadmap is just one small
part of my Geology Topics Unit that I offer on TpT. This
unit includes…
• A six part 6,000 Slide PowerPoint Presentation / unit
roadmap full of activities, review questions, games, video
links, flashcards, materials list, and much more.
• A 18 bundled homework package, modified version, 19
pages of unit notes, 6 PowerPoint Review Games of
100+ slides each, videos, rubrics, and much more that
all chronologically follow the unit slideshow.
• This is a fantastic unit for any Earth Science Class.
