S6C4PO5 - Explain the formation of the light elements in stars and the heavier elements in supernova explosions. The processes, skills and content of the first three components are designed as an 'umbrella' and complement to the content of the life sciences, the natural sciences and the earth and space sciences.
TOPIC: Review of the Inquiry Process
It is important to use safe and ethical procedures and conduct in all scientific investigations. A valid, scientific theory must be able to explain the natural world and predict future events. Read, summarize and discuss articles that illustrate different types of science and ethical dilemmas in scientific research.
Demonstrate how dynamic processes such as weathering, erosion, sedimentation, metamorphosis and orogenesis are related to the redistribution of materials within the Earth system. Explain how the geochemical processes are responsible for the concentration of economically valuable minerals and ores in Arizona and worldwide.
TOPIC: Weathering and Erosion
Explain the mechanisms of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation) between the atmosphere, land masses and oceans. Explain the causes and/or effects of climate change over long periods of time (eg ice ages, desertification, solar activity, greenhouse effect). The students must demonstrate the connection between the Earth's internal convective heat flow and plate tectonics.
Students will explain how plate tectonic activity creates earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain ranges, mid-ocean ridges, and deep-sea trenches. Students will compare and contrast the motion/velocity of S, P, and surface waves and how they are used to determine Earth's internal structure.
