3. Water Power & Bio Geo Chemical Cycles Booklet Cover – Title: Water Power & Bio Geo Chemical Cycles Drawing related to title Name Period

4. Page #1 – Water Power Notes • Define the following words: • Matter • Mass • Bent molecular shape • Fluid • Liquid • Capillary action • Draw an example of Capillary action and explain how it works • Surface Tension • Draw an example of surface tension and explain how it works

5. Break the Surface Tension, SPARKLE!!! • Fill the petri dish with a layer of water • Ask Mrs. Lee for some SPARKLE!!! • Get one drop of soap stock solution on a paper napkin • Dip the point of the paper clip in the soap solution • Put the point in the center of the Sparkly Water (It only happens once so pay attention!) • Write Observations • Question: How does the surface tension change in the experiment? • Empty Sparkly water in the designated waste container. • Clean up and reset lab for next class period

6. Page #2 – Water power Notes • Define the following words: • Gravity • Pressure • atmospheric • high • Low • Siphon • Draw a two cup siphon and label the following: • Atmospheric Pressure • Water pushed upward • Gravity • Water pulled downward • Explain what causes the siphon to start, and three ways the siphon will stop

7. Page #2 – Water power Notes • Define the following words: • Gravity • Pressure • atmospheric • high • Low • Siphon • Draw a two cup siphon and label the following: • Atmospheric Pressure • Water pushed upward • Gravity • Water pulled downward • Explain what causes the siphon to start, and three ways the siphon will stop

8. Siphon Challenge • Challenge One – Using just the two cups and one length of tube - Siphon one cup of water into the other without touching them once the siphon has started • Question: How does atmospheric pressure help the water move up the tube? • Questions: What does gravity do to help create the siphon? • Challenge Two – Reverse the Siphon without starting over • Question: Does the water flow from high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure? • Challenge Three – Siphon most of the water in one cup flow into the other • Question: At what point will the siphon stop? • Challenge Four – Siphon water from one cup to the other cup and then to the beaker

9. Welcome AssignmentSept. 12 & 13 • Turn in your Career Journal #2 • Write in your planner 1. Project Signature Paper & Booklet are due AT THE END OF THE PERIOD • Period 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 – Monday 9/16 • Period 6 – Tuesday 9/17 2. Wear Shoes next week we will be going to the garden more than once • Turn in your syllabus signature if you haven’t already

10. Page #3 – Bell Siphon • Draw a simplistic bell siphon diagram • Label the following • Bell pipe & cap • Bell pipe slots • Standpipe • Atmospheric Pressure • Water pushed upward • Gravity • Water pulled downward • Start Siphoning • Stop Siphoning

11. Bell Siphon Diagram

12. Sept. 16 & 17, 2013 Welcome Assignment • Take out your booklet and copy for page #4 • Title: 16 Nutrients Plants Need Macronutrients • Nutrients that plants need in large quantities • Hydrogen & Oxygen – Plants get these elements from water • Carbon – Plants get this nutrient from carbon dioxide • Nitrogen – Promotes healthy leaves and stems • Phosphorus – Important for germination and growth of flowers, fruit, and roots • Potassium – Helps plants fight diseases • Calcium – Helps to build cell walls • Magnesium & Sulfur – Helps produce chlorophyll Micronutrients • Nutrients that plants need in small quantities • Iron – Helps form chlorophyll and transfer oxygen • Manganese – Keeps leaves green • Boron – Helps make nicely formed stems and fruit • Zinc & Copper – Helps the plant produce proteins • Molybdenum – Helps beans and peas form root nodules • Chlorine – Stops plants from having stubby roots and wilting
