| SOURCES, HAZARDS & WATER in CALIFORNIA and OUR GEOLOGICAL ADVENTURE [ ] 2-1 Research and SQRRR--3 to 5 geological resources in California-- [ ] 2-2 CLICK and SQRRR--Geological HAZARDS. [ ] 2-3 Research and SQRRR--3 to 5 geological hazards in California. [ ] 2-4 CLICK and SQRRR--Hold down the CTRL key and look at the 6 tutorials about water in California: aquifer, molecular and water cycles, use and amount of water along with the final review. List the scores you get on each quiz and the final review. * Print the map; print and complete the worksheet. Put both in your INB. [ ] 2-5 Project/day one--imagine that you've started a travel company and you take people on a geological adventure through California, showing them the geological resources and hazards as well as our water resources.

| UNIT TITLE: Universe and Resources/Geology of California Take Cornell-format notes in INB. Check off completed items. Remember to label and date all pages in your INB. STANDARDS: 2 a-d and 9 a-c * Earth-based and space-based astronomy reveal the structure, scale and changes in stars, galaxies and the universe over time. As a basis for understanding this concept students know...a) the solar system is located in an outer edge of the disc-shapted Milky Way galaxy, which spans 100,000 light years. b) galaxies are made of billions of stars and comprise most of the visible mass of the universe, c) the evidence indicating that all elements with an atomic number greater than that of lithium have been formed by nuclear fusion in stars, d) stars differ in their life cycles and that visual, radio and x-ray telescopes may be used to collect data that reveal those differences. * The geology of California underlies the state's wealth of natural resources as well as natural hazards. As a basis for understanding this concept students know... a) the resources of major economic importance in California and their relation to California's geology, b) the principal natural hazards in different California regions and the geological basis of those hazards, c) the inportance of water to society, the origins of California's fresh water and the relationship between supply and need. |
