5.1 Explain how water can be involved in both mechanical and chemical weathering.
5.2 Explain how weathering might be different in a desert versus in a rainforest. Include what kinds of weathering might occur and how the rate might be affected.
5.3 How long does it take to make new soil from parent material?
5.4 What are 3 different things that affect what makes up soil in a given area?
5.5 What is ice wedging, and why does it happen?
OYOT – due Thursday, December 13th (separate paper, complete sentences)
6.1 Imagine a rock's journey from the beginning of a river to the river's mouth into the ocean. Explain the rock's journey using the terms: weathering, erosion, and deposition.
6.2 Various types of erosion and deposition occur. Describe a situation where erosion and deposition occur quickly (within a year). You may use pictures to help you explain.
6.3 Describe a situation when erosion and deposition happen slowly (within thousands of years). You may use pictures to help you explain.
6.4 Explain how farming might affect erosion and deposition of natural landscapes.
6.5 What can farmers do to prevent erosion on their land?
6.6 Explain how streams form and change over time.

Chemistry & Matter OYOT
Chem1. What is the difference between a compound and a molecule?
Chem2. Carbon has the atomic number of 6. What can you know about Carbon based off this information? Based on valence electrons, explain why Carbon can make so many different compounds.
Chem3. What is the difference between an element and an atom?
Matt1. What is required for any state of matter to change? Describe what happens to the molecules of a substance when it changes state.
Matt2. I have 50g of an unknown substance.
It has a volume of 25 cubic centimeters. [water has a density of 1g/cm3 ]
What is the density of this substance? Will it float or sink in water? Why?
Matt3. Explain the difference between mass and weight, and use that to explain why you would feel lighter on the moon than you do on Earth.
