Learning Summary Reach for Reading Unit 8 BIG Question: What’s worth protecting?
During this 11th week of at-home learning, 4th graders will continue in Unit 8 of Reach for Reading. Students will read a report titled, “Saving Bison from Extinction” by Dorothy Young. This week, fourth grade students will integrate information as they compare two texts, one fiction and one nonfiction. Students must think critically and consider overall theme, while assessing how differing text genres address the same topic. In this case, students learn about the effect on bison during the westward expansion. Fourth graders continue to develop foundational reading skills by identifying and deciphering idioms, as well as working with regular and irregular past-tense verbs.
Word Work
Task 1:
• Turn to page 516 in your anthology and learn more about Idioms.
• On page 516 find the Try It Together section. o Read the short paragraph and answer the two questions using context clues to
help you determine meaning.

Learning Summary TCI Unit 4 Essential Guiding Question: Which Waves Travel Through Earth? Part 1 This week, 4th grade students will learn science concepts from their TCI Bring Science Alive! Unit 4: Waves and Information. Students will learn and investigate science concepts about earthquakes and the three types of waves they create and their properties. Students will also learn the following science vocabulary words: p-waves, seismic waves, and seismographs.
Concept Review
Which Waves Travel Through Earth?
Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s crust suddenly moves. This movement causes seismic waves. There are three kinds of seismic waves: p-waves, s-waves, and surface waves. Each of these seismic waves have different properties. P-waves are the first seismic waves to arrive during an earthquake. P-waves are like sound waves; they can move through any kind of mater and they spread out in all directions. Scientist collect data from earthquakes using seismographs.
Vocabulary
• Define the underlined words above by writing or drawing the meaning of each word.
• Define each of the following terms (by drawing, writing, or talking): seismographs, and primary waves.
• Look for the meaning of the underlined words and to learn more about waves in your Bring Science Alive Science Journal—
o Which Waves Travel Through Earth? o Science Journal 76, 78-79.
Independent Science Activity
• Have you ever experienced an earthquake? What do you know about the damage that earthquakes can cause? Write or draw your answers.
• Learning and Connecting Types of Seismic Waves: record the name scientists use for each type of seismic wave on page 74 of your Science Journal.
• Fill out the table on page 80 of the Science Journal. Review the text (pages 78-79), and then answer in your own words for each part of the table on page 80. Be sure to quote two specific details or examples from the text that support your explanation.
Science Connections &
Extensions
• Think about your science vocabulary on page 75 of your Science Journal. o Complete the vocabulary matching activity on the top of page 75. o Then do the My Science Concepts activity on the bottom of page 75. o Think about what you would still like to learn about earthquakes and seismic waves.
• Imagine that you are a news reporter. You have just been sent to the island nation of Japan to report on an earthquake there (page 77 in Science Journal). Write a short news report that will tell people about earthquakes.
Make sure to: o Say you are in Japan and an earthquake just happened. o Define what an earthquake is. o Explain what causes an earthquake. o Describe how seismic waves cause objects to move.

1. A wave that travels through Earth.
2. A shaking of the ground.
Reflect on your understanding. Draw an X along each line.
Seismic waves are caused by earthquakes, which occur when Earth’s crust suddenly moves. There are three kinds of seismic waves: P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves.
still learning know it
A primary wave (P-wave) pushes together in some areas, and spreads apart in other areas. P-waves move the way sound waves move. Secondary waves (S-waves) travel through matter side to side like waves on a string. Surface waves are like water waves. They travel along Earth’s surface and move the matter in small circles.

Scientists collect data from earthquakes using seismographs. They look at data from many different earthquakes to find patterns. These patterns help engineers design solutions that keep people safe during earthquakes.

1. Seismic Waves Move the Earth
In the afternoon of March 11, 2011, the people in Japan were surprised by a sudden shaking of the ground. Buildings swayed. Things fell off shelves. They knew it was an earthquake. But they may not have known that, at the time, it was the strongest earthquake to ever hit Japan.
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground. Earthquakes happen when part of Earth’s crust moves suddenly. The crust is the outside layer of Earth’s surface. You learned that moving objects form waves by causing matter to move in repeating patterns. Similarly, when part of Earth’s crust moves, it pushes on nearby parts of the crust and creates waves. These waves are called seismic waves.
Seismic waves travel along Earth’s crust and through Earth’s other layers. The waves make the ground move and cause the shaking that people feel. Earthquakes also cause objects on Earth’s surface, such as buildings and people, to move.
There are three different kinds of seismic waves: P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves. Each of these waves is similar to the three different examples of waves that you already learned about. Every earthquake has all three kinds of seismic waves.
Earthquakes occur when part of Earth’s crust moves suddenly. Earthquakes create seismic waves that travel through Earth’s crust.

2. P-waves Are Similar to Sound Waves
You usually cannot feel P-waves. But before you feel an earthquake, dogs might start barking. They can sense an earthquake because they can sense P-waves.
P-waves are similar to sound waves because they move in the same way. When a P-wave travels through the ground, it pushes together and pulls apart rocks and other matter in the earth, forming crests and troughs.
P-waves Are the Fastest Seismic Waves
P-wave is short for primary wave. Primary means to come first. P-waves are called this because they are the fastest seismic waves. So, P-waves are the first seismic waves to arrive during an earthquake. They arrive before S-waves and surface waves.
Tools called seismographs measure earthquakes. When a seismograph detects any kind of seismic waves, it prints jagged lines. If the wave’s amplitude is large, the seismograph will print longer lines, and if the wave’s amplitude is small, it will print shorter lines. When it does not detect waves, it prints a straight line.
Scientists observe a pattern when measuring an earthquake. They know that P-waves are the fastest seismic waves, so seismographs detect them first. They see that the first waves detected have the smallest amplitude. They conclude that P-waves have the smallest amplitude of the three types of seismic waves.
A P-wave pushes together in some areas, and spreads apart in other areas. So, a P-wave moves in the same way as a sound wave.
Seismographs measure the amplitude of seismic waves.

P-waves Move Through All Kinds of Matter
As you have learned, earthquakes occur when a piece of Earth’s crust moves. This movement creates seismic waves that cause shaking. The waves travel away from the part of the crust that moved.
P-waves can move through all different kinds of matter. For example, they can move through Earth’s crust, which is solid rock. They can move through the ocean and through lakes, which are liquid. They can also move through the hot, liquid inner layers of Earth. P-waves can even move through air.
P-waves Spread Out in All Directions
Like all waves, seismic waves spread out in any direction that they can. Because P-waves can move through any kind of matter, they spread out in all directions. When a P-wave travels, it spreads upward toward Earth’s surface and downward through Earth’s inner layers. It also spreads out in a circle, traveling in all directions away from the part of the crust that caused the earthquake. Even though P-waves do not have a large amplitude, some can travel all the way through Earth. These P-waves can be detected by seismographs that are all the way on the other side of Earth!
Because P-waves are similar to sound waves, they spread out in the same way. P-waves spread out in all directions since they can move through all kinds of matter.
