What makes up the matter of the Earth and Moon?
Group member______________________________________________ Period_____
Research Work to be illustrated on Earth/Moon Poster:
ü What is the: average temperature, polar radius, equatorial radius, circumference, density and mass of the Earth and Moon? List in a Table. Label these features on the poster.
ü How do Humans use the common minerals and rocks found in each layer (layers drawn to scale) of the Earth? Illustrate the possible uses.
ü What are the parts of the Hydrosphere? What parts of the hydrosphere have layers/zones? What is the percent composition for each layer of the atmosphere? List in tables and illustrate them as appropriate.
ü What are the percent distributions of elements that make up the Earth and Moon? List in a table and label the Illustration.
ü EXTRA CREDIT: What are some of the requirements necessary for Humans to live on the moon and how might science help us to meet these requirements?

Matter
1) Earth SCORE: /7
High & low temps (°C) | Polar radius of Earth (km) | Equatorial radius of Earth (km) | Circumference of Earth (km) | Density of Earth | Mass of Earth (kg) |
Day Night |
2) Moon SCORE: /8
High & low temps (°C) | Polar radius of the moon (km) | Equatorial radius of the moon (km) | Circumference of the moon (km) | Density of the moon | Mass of moon (kg) |
Day Night |
3) SCORE: /15
Rocks & minerals commonly found in each interior layer and possible human uses. The number of rows does not indicate the number of layers or minerals; add or delete rows as needed | Size of layer (km) |
4) SCORE: /20
Components of the Hydrosphere | Main Zones/layers (if present) | Locations on Earth | Gas composition of each atmospheric layer by percentage |
Oceans | |||
Seas | |||
Lakes | |||
Rivers | |||
Ice caps | |||
5) SCORE: /20
Common Elements of Earth | Percent distribution |
SCORE: /15
Common Elements of the Moon | Possible uses for these resources | Percent distribution |
5) Think about how you will illustrate all of these concepts on your poster. You should record the URLs or names of any resources with good examples of diagrams/figures/tables/illustrations. Make two illustrations, one of the Earth and one of the moon. Label each illustration with the following items:
- Average temperature
- Polar radius
- Equatorial radius
- Circumference
- Density
- Mass
- Minerals (the layers should be drawn to scale)
- Main zones of the hydrosphere
- Percent distributions of elements
Works Cited Page for Individual Earth & Moon Quadrant Research (50 pt)
Hard deadline due: 1/4 or 5/11
You will need to create a WCP for the web and text based research you did in effort to answer the EQs for your quadrant. Follow the Oceana Golden Page format. You received a copy of the Golden Page in Humanities and can find it electronically on the OHS library web page. Turn in your completed research WCP stapled to the back of the quadrant research or pasted to your research if you submit it electronically.
