Praxis II Middle School Science 5440 Latest Update Graded A+ "Zeroth" Law of Thermodynamics If systems 1 and 2 are both in equilibrium with 3, then 1 and 2 are also in equilibrium with each other. 1st Law of Thermodynamics Matter and energy are conserved (energy in = energy out) in a closed system. 2 elements - liquid at room temperature Hg, Br 2nd Law of Thermodynamics Entropy always increases in a closed system. Not all energy is transferred; some is "lost" as heat. 3r...

[Note to teachers and students: This lesson was designed as a follow-up to the Weathering and River Erosion lessons. We recommend doing those activities before trying this one.] Vocabulary: climate, erosion, precipitation, sandstone, shale, vegetation, valley, weathering Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. Erosion is the removal and movement of soil, rocks, and other materials from one place to another on Earth’s surface. What are some forces that might caus...
