starter • How are the oceans different from what they were like 250 million years ago? • What is pangea
Challenge • Using your knowledge of the water cycle solve the following case. Scientists who had been studying the drought in Atlanta observed that lake Lanier seemed to be drying up. And thus the city was running out of water. • What could be going on in the water cycle process near Atlanta that is causing this effect on Lake Lanier? • What things do you think are influencing what you think happened during the water cycle?
Starter • How much of earth’s water can you actually drink? Why? • In some kind of picture show how much salt water, glaciers, ground water and liquid fresh water is on earth.
In your own words explain what evaporation, transpiration and condensation, and precipitation means.
Describe the water cycle in your own words. • What are the stages of the water cycle in the order in which they happen? • If the water cycle did not exist what would happen?
Objective • SWBAT illustrate water evaporation, condensation, and precipitation • SWBAT explain how the earth recycles its water
Question • How does the earth recycle its water?
Vocabulary • Evaporation • Transpiration • Condensation • Precipitation
Reading • Read page 335 in the text book • Do a KWL chart before you begin and when you are finished • Write down at least 3 things that you learned IN YOUR OWN WORDS • Describe the water cycle in your own words
Evaporation- When water heats up and turns to water vapor Water vapor is water that has turned to steam
Transpiration: When plants loose water - plant sweating
Condensation:- when water vapor cools and then turns back into liquid
The Water Cycle Earth’s way of recycling its limited amount of water When trees loose water When water gathers in the ocean
The water cycle has 3 stages: Evaporation Condensation precipitation • Because it is a cycle it repeats itself over and over and over again! • This is how the Earth recycles its water!
