20. Copy the following key terms on your concept map in the middle box: (leave space to answer them as we go along.)
Photosynthesis
Respiration

Combustion
Include/COPY: How do consumers get the carbon they need?
The CARBON Cycle

21. What is a carbon atom? Do NOT copy… just listen!
#6 on the periodic table. It’s symbol is “C”.
All living organisms are based on the carbon atom.
Carbon atoms continually move through living organisms, the oceans, the atmosphere, and the crust of the planet.
What is a carbon atom? Do NOT copy… just listen!

22. As you witnessed yesterday…it CYCLES through land & water!
The ARROWS show where the CARBON is going…

23. The CARBON Cycle- Video Clip

24. -
Photosynthesis-Plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to make sugar molecules (glucose) and oxygen.
What are the basics of the carbon cycle? Define them on your concept map!
Takes CO2 out of the environment +
Respiration- Animals take in oxygen and break down sugar molecules releasing energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
Releases/Adds CO2 to the environment

25. Just listen… Simple picture
The plants give off oxygen, which is what the animals need… The animals give off carbon dioxide…which is what the plants need!
Just listen…
Simple picture

26. Combustion- process of burning a substance, such as wood or fossil fuels+
What are the basics of the carbon cycle? Define them on your concept map!
Releases/Adds CO2 to the environment +
Decomposition- the breakdown of substances into simpler molecules
Releases/Adds CO2 to the environment

27. Most consumers get the carbon and energy they need… by eating plants & animals.
Why is Carbon Important? COPY the bold blue parts in the Importance box on the bottom!!
Besides water, the most common molecules in living things are organic molecules, or molecules that contain carbon. (Carbon is found in all organisms)
Too much carbon may cause Global Warming (heating Earth)

Carbon dioxide and water are released as waste products of _______________.
The breakdown of substances into simpler molecules is called __________________.
respiration

33. Super Sleuth: Find someone who knows…
What process takes carbon out of the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis takes in what gas?
Photosynthesis releases what gas?
Photosynthesis
Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen
What 3 processes release carbon into the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration takes in what gas?
Where do plants get their energy?
Respiration, Combustion, Decomposition
Oxygen
The Sun
How do consumers get the carbon they need?
Cellular respiration releases what gas?
True or False: Animals and plants both perform respiration.
Edit boxes for your lesson….students should have a different student in each box..you can print it out and have students initial the box they do for the student. Continue until all boxes are filled.

Carbon Dioxide
TRUE

34. The Nitrogen Cycle

35. “Free” Nitrogen Gas in Air Death & Decay/Decomposition
The NITROGEN Cycle
“Free” Nitrogen Gas in Air
Waste
Death & Decay/Decomposition
Nitrogen fixation
So…nitrogen is RELEASED into soil through decomposition when organisms die, through waste, and through bacteria releasing it after being fixed. Nitrogen is RELEASED into the atmosphere by bacteria as well.
Plants can then take it in from the soil. Animals then eat the plants…

36. The NITROGEN Cycle: Key Ideas
COPY the following on your concept map poster in the middle box to answer as we discuss the notes:
What is the % of “free nitrogen” in the air?
Define nitrogen fixation
Who performs nitrogen fixation? Where do they live?
Are there more ways nitrogen can become “fixed”?
How do consumers get the nitrogen they need?
The NITROGEN Cycle: Key Ideas

37. Take a deep breath. You just breathed in a whole bunch of nitrogen!
78% of earth’s atmosphere consists of Nitrogen.
Since nitrogen is so important you’d think this was a good thing, right?
Where is nitrogen?
Most organisms cannot use nitrogen in the form N2 or “Free Nitrogen”.
It must be first combined with other molecules or “Fixed”

38. How does nitrogen get “fixed”?
Nitrogen fixation- when bacteria transform nitrogen into a form plants can use
Bacteria who live in plant root “nodules” perform nitrogen fixation.
This is an example of mutualism:
Bacteria get a home on plant roots
Plants get the nitrogen “fixed” into a form they can use

39. Other Ways to “Fix” nitrogen…
Lightning can “fix nitrogen” too!
This is only a small amount of nitrogen fixation.
Other Ways to “Fix” nitrogen…
It breaks the bond…nitrogen then combines with oxygen to create NO3 which is washed into the soil by rain.
This is the form of nitrogen needed by plants

40. Simple Picture How do consumers get the nitrogen we need??
** BY EATING the PLANTS that have nitrogen stored in them!
Simple Picture

41. Why is Nitrogen Important?
All life requires nitrogen.
It helps build protein and DNA in our cells
Why is Nitrogen Important?

42. In Conclusion, Remember…
Water, Carbon, and Nitrogen are all necessary to living things.
All three are types of matter (non-living)
All three are constantly being cycled through producers, consumers, decomposers, and the environment.
In Conclusion, Remember…
