7. Recognize that the Earth is one of several planets that orbit the sun, and that the moon orbits the Earth.
8. Recognize that rocks may be uniform or made of mixture of different minerals.
9. Describe and classify minerals based on their physical properties.
10. Identify where water collects on Earth, atmosphere, ground and surface water, and describe how water moves through the Earth system using the processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation.
11. Explain how over time, rocks weather and combine with organic matter to form soil.
12. Explain how slow processes, such as water erosion, and rapid processes, such as landslides and volcanic eruptions, form features of Earth’s surface.

Late work Policy
All assignments are expected on the due date. Late work will be accepted in the event of an excused absence only. You will be given two days for each day you were absent to complete all missed assignments. It is the student's responsibility to find out what was missed the day he/she returns to school.
Classroom expectations
1. Always be prepared for success. Please remember that the moment you walk into the classroom you are to be in “study‐mode.”
2. Care for your classmates and their right to an uninterrupted learning environment. If it is necessary for you to leave the classroom, raise your hand and approach me quietly when I acknowledge you. Likewise, if it is necessary for you to enter the classroom after class has started, please do so silently. These courtesies apply to tardiness, excused or otherwise.
3. Communicate appropriately. Always maintain positive eye contact and positive body language when speaking to each other. Use the proper vocabulary with each other. Never interrupt when someone is speaking, even if they are not speaking to you directly. Listen attentively when someone is speaking (do not talk while someone else is addressing the class, especially me.)
4. Honesty is the best policy. Honesty is extremely important to me, as it should be to you. Copying other student’s answers (with or without their permission), cutting and pasting information from the internet and attempting to pass it off as your own and having another student complete an assignment for you are all examples of dishonesty. They will not be tolerated. This type of behavior will result in a zero on the assignment
5. We are all ladies and gentlemen and will behave accordingly. You are expected to respect the opinion offered in class although you may disagree with them. If you wish to share your perspective, make sure to do so in a respectful manner. As teacher and students, we will treat each other with respect and dignity.
Book Policy
1. You are responsible for your own textbook and workbook. Activities done without your book will result to a failing grade. Losing it means you have to pay for it.
2. You cannot make any marks on your book.
Subject and Homework notebook Policy
1. You are required to have a subject notebook that is solely for Earth Science 6. This is for you to jot down notes during discussion and reminders for all your homework. Any questions feel free to see me. I will be more than willing to help you. Have fun learning!
