Benchmark

Yay for benchmarks! Please keep in mind that the science benchmark is on Wednesday. The test will cover lots of information from the Lithosphere unit and the Energy unit. Here is a list of topics to review:

Forms of Energy and examples of each form
Kinetic and Potential Energy
Law of Conservation of Energy
Movement of Heat
Frequency, pitch, amplitude, loudness of sound
Reflection and diffraction of sound
How quickly or slowly sound travels (What factors effect the speed of sound? In what material would sound travel slowest/fastest?)

Mohs Hardness Scale
Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic Rocks
Grain size of rocks
How crystals form
Layers of the earth (including the lithosphere)
Continental drift (causes, what is it)
Earthquakes
Chemical and Physical weathering
Soil

Good luck to everyone!
