How can we engineer our home to work with the natural water cycle so that we can sustain human water use well into the future? What words should we define? What do you already know about this topic? What do we need to learn about this topic?

P 58 What you already know What you need to learn What you have learned

Where did all the water come from? Water covers over 70% of the Earth, cycling from the oceans and rivers to the clouds and back again. It even makes up about 60% of our bodies. But in the rest of the solar system, liquid water is almost impossible to find. So how did our planet end up with so much of this substance? And where did it come from? water-come-from-zachary-metz#review water-come-from-zachary-metz#review

Do Now 12/8 A.In your table group: 1. Come up with a definition for what a model is. 2.Find examples of models in the classroom. 3.Record responses on NB pg. 60

I can use models to describe how water moves through Earth’s systems. What is a model? – A simplified representation of a system that is used to study the system. What models do we have in the classroom? – 2-dimentional posters Diagrams graphs – 3-dimentional Globe Ipad apps

What makes a good model?

Data was analyzed and processed into a predictive model that is used in real time to generate predictions about the duration of jams on different regions of the highway system. This put into a app for users.

Model of traffic jams in Seattle

A good model has: Explanatory power – a good model helps to EXPLAIN how something (a phenomenon) happens Predictive power - a good model helps to PREDICT when (or if) something (a phenomenon) happens Internal consistency – it works equally well within similar situations. External consistency - it works when comparing different but related situations (Write this down on NB pg. 60)

I can use models to describe how water moves through Earth’s systems.

Back in the day…

Of Tyrannosaurs and water… Draw a model that explains how there could be dinosaur pee in my cup. Keep in mind what makes a good model: – Explanatory power – Predictive power – Internal consistency – External consistency (NB pg. 60)

Where might the T-Rex fit in this model?

Do Now 12/8 1.Prepare for learning check #8 on NB pg 61 2.Complete Plus/Delta and turn in to the INBOX

Plus/Delta Every few months we will do a plus/delta I will review the deltas and bring any commonalities back to the class for discussion. You know how you learn best so this is your opportunity to tell me.

The website makes it easy to catch up on work. I like all the videos. I am a visual learner. My math teacher has a question box. This helps clarify questions on the homework. It would be helpful if _____ was on the website.

Learning Check #8 1.Write score on top of page 61 2.Write Score on sheet for INBOX 3.Graph score on NB p4

Do Now 12/10 1.Collect WC 13, cut and tape on page 63 2.First thoughts: Answer the question of the lab. 3.Learning target “I can use models to describe how water moves through Earth’s systems.” 4.Update Table of Contents

Next… 12/10 1.Turn back to WC Make sure #1-3 is complete 3.Read #4, and STAND BY to do this TODAY. (We’ll get as far possible with the available time.)

HW: Tonight: Start WC 13 #5 PUSH IN YOUR CHAIR. (Thank you!) Reminder

Do Now 12/11 1.Take out WC 13 2.Double-check number of rolls (turns) ≥ Complete #5 4. Answer questions 6 and 7

WC 13 Sample data from #5 6. Where did you spend the majority of the time in the water cycle?

Weather & Climate Where is the majority of the water on earth? – Globe Activity 70% of the worlds water is in the Ocean – NASA Video: coded/9/93/Earth%27s_Water_Cycle.ogv/Earth%27s_ Water_Cycle.ogv.360p.webm (6 min) coded/9/93/Earth%27s_Water_Cycle.ogv/Earth%27s_ Water_Cycle.ogv.360p.webm

Work with your table group to complete number 8. – One iPad per table group. – Include actual locations or names! – When you are done show your work to Mr. Summers. Once approved you can work on finishing all of WC 13.
