The Hydrosphere
Warm up (2-5-15) What do you know about the water cycle? Draw the water cycle in your warm up. Include arrows to show the direction of water movement, as well as the names of the phase changes that water goes through during the cycle.
Outline Objectives Water cycle exploration and simulations
Objectives IWBAT explain the connection between the water cycle and the oceans on the Earth IWBAT explain what the water cycle is and how this cycle occurs on Earth

Warm up (2-6-15) Explain what you know about the oceans and how they relate to the water cycle. (Include some details about the salt in the oceans and what happens to that salt.)

Warm up (2-9-15) Now that you have some background information about the water cycle, explain what evaporation and transpiration are and what the difference is.
Outline Objectives Oceans video Relate oceans to the water cycle Introduce water cycle project
Objectives IWBAT explain how oceans fit into the water cycle and the overall importance of oceans in the water cycle.

Water cycle diorama creation Make a visual model representing the water cycle and all of the different aspects of the water cycle. Think about the visual I showed you from the following site. Use this as a guide. Don’t copy it exactly. Add in animals and other organisms where necessary. n07/l7ex.swf n07/l7ex.swf
Develop a plan for your water cycle model What materials you will use What will provide the support for your model How do you plan to construct your model What will you use to label your model
Warm up ( ) Explain your plan for creating your model of the water cycle. Think about the materials you brought and what materials you will use.
Outline Objectives Water cycle project Water cycle project analysis
Objectives Students will be able to create a model of the water cycle and determine how the water cycle works
Water cycle diorama creation Make a visual model representing the water cycle and all of the different aspects of the water cycle. Think about the visual I showed you from the following site. Use this as a guide. Don’t copy it exactly. Add in animals and other organisms where necessary. n07/l7ex.swf n07/l7ex.swf
The water cycle Helpful animation
Warm up ( ) Explain how using your model of the water cycle might be helpful to explaining the recycling system of the water on Earth
Outline Objectives Water cycle project – diorama creation Create your own water cycle lab
Objectives Students will create a model of the water cycle to help explain the flow of water through the cycle and explain the recycling of water on Earth Students will use the model to interpret how water can be contaminated but how that contamination on Earth doesn’t lead to contamination in the skies.

Warm up ( ) Why is the water cycle so important to us as humans? Try to be as specific as possible.
Outline Objectives Water cycle crisis reading and discussion
Objectives IWBAT read the water cycle crisis with a partner and discuss what is happening to the water levels around the world and provide a possible solution
Water crisis Read through the water crisis reading with a partner. You are to read through, then discuss your opinions about the topic. – Think about connections you can make between the information presented and how you deal with water in your daily lives – Think about scientific connections and explanations you can add to the data that was presented. Your job is to provide some plan of action how to address and ultimately stop the water crisis. – Think about Wiggins, CO and discuss if there is a water crisis here. Discuss with your group how you plan to address this water crisis and what suggestions you can make.
Warm up ( ) What conclusions can you make about the consumption of water by humans? In other words, are human consuming too much water and the levels will eventually run out on Earth, or can we continue to use as much water as we need to?
Outline Objectives Oceans notes Oceans video wrap up
Objectives IWBAT explain the importance of oceans in the water cycle IWBAT identify the factors that influence water consumption by humans and provide a plan in order to reduce the consumption of water.
