  1. Developed by the GPM Education and Public Outreach Team NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Water in the Biosphere

  2. ENGAGE How many livings things did you find? What kinds of livings things did you observe?

  3. The Biosphere All living things on Earth Connects all spheres

  4. The Biosphere and the Water Cycle Which components of the water cycle involve the biosphere?

  5. The Water Cycle “The Water Cycle: animation from NASA/GSFC SVS # 10501

  6. How much water is the biosphere? • Qualitative: • Land Cover As you explore, think about How does water get to the living things?? Where does the water go?

  8. Evaluate Label the parts of the water cycle that involve the biosphere and describe how the biosphere is an important part of the water cycle. Hints: plants, animals, transpiration

  9. GPM The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Satellite will collect precipitation data from around the world. Knowing where and how much rain or snow falls globally is vital to understanding how weather and climate impact both our environment and Earth’s water and energy cycles. Precipitation patterns have effects on agriculture, fresh water availability, and responses to natural disasters.
