Students, this is a friendly reminder that you have a Science Assessment on Thursday, October 24. You will need to be able to:
- Name and define the 4 Earth spheres (lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere)
- Explain how the different spheres are interconnected (ex: a volcano erupts in the lithosphere sending gas and ash into the atmosphere, which lands on the plants surrounding the volcano and impacts the biosphere, etc)
- Compare different methods of waste management (landfill/dump, recycling, compost)
- Identify different ways we can reduce the amount of waste we make
- Distinguish between waste that is easy to decompose and not
- Identify hazardous materials and how to dispose of them safely
- Explain who uses the river as their habitat (5 specific plants and animals)
- Provide reasons why water is so important to plants and animals
