2. What happens when fresh & salt water meet?

4. Estuary*
When salt water and fresh water mix in a river, delta, or other source.
2 Types:
- Mangrove Forest
- Salt Marsh

5. MAYBE A FRESH WATER CROCODILE WANTS A SALTY MEAL IN THE SEA!

6. Maybe it wants a shark dinner!

7. Double the plant life!!!!!

8. Birds always have something to eat.

9. Birds have plenty of nesting sites too!

10. Birds have plenty of nesting sites too!

11. Birds have plenty of nesting sites too!

12. Estuaries have 2x life because 2 ecosystems are colliding!

13. Estuaries have 2x life because 2 ecosystems are colliding!

14. Estuaries: 2 X the breeding & feeding!

15. Look how lush & fertile an estuary looks from space!

16. 2 types of estuary:
SALT MARSH Atlantic Carolina coasts Stinky cord grass Absorbs tons of moisture
MANGROVES Louisiana & gulf Hurricane proof trees Absorbs tons of moisture
Great breeding grounds--nursery

17. 2 types of estuary:
SALT MARSH Atlantic Carolina coasts Stinky cord grass Absorbs tons of moisture
MANGROVES Louisiana & gulf Hurricane proof trees Absorbs tons of moisture
Great breeding grounds--nursery

18. 2 types of estuary: 2X life & nutrients
SALT MARSH Atlantic Carolina coasts Stinky cord grass Absorbs tons of moisture
MANGROVES Louisiana & gulf Hurricane proof trees Absorbs tons of moisture

19. In both pictures, the water is above the ground for some reason, and we know it is on top of dirt. Why isn’t the water sinking if the dirt is permeable?

20. Permeable vs. Impermeable
Great breeding grounds--nursery

21. Permeable vs. Impermeable
Great breeding grounds--nursery

22. Permeable vs. Impermeable
Great breeding grounds--nursery

23. Permeable vs. Impermeable
Great breeding grounds--nursery

24. So how does permeable layers affect your groundwater?
Great breeding grounds--nursery

25. From the activity on Friday.
Guided Notes
From the activity on Friday.
Place these words in the correct places:
Divide
River Basin Watershed

26. What happens to your water as it goes through different permeable layers?
Gravel
Dirt
Sand
Which layer would you want your water to go through first? Which one last? Why?
Clay

27. Same Groups as Friday Activity
Water Filtration Lab
Same Groups as Friday Activity
- Follow directions and complete lab sheet as a group.
You will be choosing three materials to filter out our ‘polluted’ water.
Place the filtration in any order in your tube so long as the tissue is at the bottom.
Your objective is to filter out all ‘pollution’ in the water.
Complete beginning of Lab Sheet before beginning to experiment.
Spills = You are an honorary custodian tomorrow
