Hello! My name is Mrs. Boor, and I teach 6th-grade science. I also enjoy taking photos at games and editing them!

In science class, we are currently learning about Earth’s systems—the hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and geosphere—and how they interact with each other. Next week, we will focus on how Earth’s processes, such as weathering, erosion, and deposition, shape the different spheres and cause changes over long periods of time.
Hydrosphere (Water)
Hydrosphere (Water)
What it is:
All the water on Earth.
Examples:
Oceans
Rivers and lakes
Rain and snow
Glaciers and ice caps
Groundwater
Why it matters:
Water helps shape the land, supports life, and affects weather.
Biosphere (Living Things)
Biosphere (Living Things)
What it is:
All living things on Earth.
Examples:
Plants
Animals
Humans
Bacteria and fungi
Why it matters:
Living things need water, air, and land to survive, and they also change Earth’s surface.
Atmosphere (Air)
Atmosphere (Air)
What it is:
The layer of gases surrounding Earth.
Main gases:
Oxygen (we breathe it)
Nitrogen
Carbon dioxide
Why it matters:
Provides air to breathe
Protects Earth from harmful sunlight
Controls weather and climate
Geosphere (Land)
Geosphere (Land)
What it is:
The solid parts of Earth.
Examples:
Rocks
Soil
Mountains
Volcanoes
Earth’s crust, mantle, and core
Why it matters:
It forms Earth’s surface and provides resources for living things.
🔄 How Earth’s Spheres Interact
🔄 How Earth’s Spheres Interact
Earth’s systems do not work alone. They constantly interact.
Examples:
Examples:
🌧️ Rain (hydrosphere) falls from the atmosphere and erodes rocks in the geosphere.
🌳 Plants (biosphere) grow in soil from the geosphere and need water from the hydrosphere.
🐟 Fish live in water (hydrosphere) and need oxygen from the atmosphere.
🌋 Volcanoes (geosphere) release gases into the atmosphere.
⏳ Earth’s Processes (Preview for Next Week!)
⏳ Earth’s Processes (Preview for Next Week!)
Over long periods of time, Earth changes because of natural processes:
🪨 Weathering
🪨 Weathering
Breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces
Can happen due to water, wind, ice, or plant roots
Happens in one places
🌊 Erosion
🌊 Erosion
Movement of weathered material
Caused by water, wind, ice, or gravity
🏖️ Deposition
🏖️ Deposition
Dropping off sediment after erosion
Creates landforms like deltas and sand dunes
10 thing what you can do to get better grades in my and others class if you're failing.
10 thing what you can do to get better grades in my and others class if you're failing.
1.Pay attention during class and listen to the teacher
2.Take neat notes and write down important vocabulary
3.Ask questions when something doesn’t make sense
4.Do all homework and turn it in on time
5.Study a little bit each day instead of cramming
6.Review notes before quizzes and tests
7.Participate in class discussions and activities
8.Follow directions carefully during labs and experiments
9.Read the science textbook or handouts carefully
10.Get help from a teacher, tutor, or classmate when needed
Ms Boor's room is dark, quiet, and has small lights. This helps the students focus and do their work.
