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.

layer of ice tells about the climatic conditions
of the past.
115. • Activity! Drilling a Rock Core.
– Stack two hunks of Earth on top of each other.
– Carefully rotate and push down half of a clear
milkshake straw into the hunks of Earth in a
rotating manner.
– Once you’ve drilled through the whole sample,
carefully remove the straw and lay it on its side.
– Use the scissors to cut down the straw exposing
the rock layers.
– Draw the rock layers and process in your journal.

to use on rocks.
– Hydrochloric acid (HCL) reacts with calcium
carbonate.
CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 (g)
243. • Demonstration (Optional)
– Teacher will drop some HCL on two different
rocks. Which one was limestone?
