  1. Thursday, September 27, 2012Friday, September 28, 2012 Thursday, September 27, 2012Friday, September 28, 2012 Parts of a River Basin Diagram and Vocab. And Catawba River Basin Scavenger Hunt Make a Flowchart Illustrating Water Traveling in Watershed and Read pgs 16-18 C • Warm Up: • COPY THE TRUE STATEMENTS INTO YOUR NOTEBOOK. – review your notes • About three quarters of Earth’s fresh water is in ice near the poles. • Most fresh water in the atmosphere is in the form of water vapor. • Less than 1% of all water on Earth is fresh water that humans can use. • Some of Earth’s fresh water is underground. Divide Headwaters Watershed or River Basin Tributary Main River (Channel) Floodplain Mouth Estuary Infiltration Homework: Make a flowchart illustrating how water flows across a watershed and eventually into the ocean.

  2. Monday, October 1, 2012Tuesday, October 2, 2012 Monday, October 1, 2012Tuesday, October 2, 2012 Read Section 2.1C of Text and Answer questions 1-3 Humans Utilize Water as a Resource • Warm Up: • Let’s say you have to walk a mile to obtain one large bucket of fresh water to bathe in, cook with and drink. • 1)How might this change the way you think of water? • 2)Would you use it differently than you do now? Why do humans need water to survive? - The human body is more than ½ water - Most of what we drink and eat is water Why does this matter? - Freshwater is a limited resource - As more people are added to our Earth, less water is available to use - Water can be pumped from the ground, but if we do this too often, ground water and aquifers will dry up - Fresh Water is like a Bank Account… How much water do you use? - Think about how much water you’ve used today. Talk to your shoulder buddy about it for two minutes. - How much water is used to eat pizza? Homework: 1. Read section 2.1 of Unit C 2. Answer questions 1-3 Page 24 Page 23

  3. Humans Utilizing Water as a Resource Human Activities Use Water • Showering/Dishes/Washing Clothes • Energy comes from water • Machinery of most kinds uses water • Carowinds uses water to keep the roller coaster tracks cool • We use water for everything!

  4. Humans Utilizing Water as a Resource Farming • 40% of water that is used goes into farming and raising livestock • To produce one hamburger, it requires 1300 gallons of water over time!! • Animals not only drink water but also eat grass. • Many times, rainfall does not provide enough water, so we draw water from aquifers, lakes and rivers to grow crops. This is called irrigation.

This is called irrigation.

  6. Humans Utilizing Water as a Resource Industry • Examples • To make one car…it requires about 50 times the weight of the car in water! • A paper mill uses 100 to 300 metric tons of water to manufacture one ton of paper! • Water used in industry can be used again, most factories clean the water and return it to lakes and rivers.

  7. Humans Utilizing Water as a Resource Transportation • The Great Lakes are an effectivemethod of transporting goods such as iron ore, grain and coal. • Lakes and rivers can be used for recreation…white water rafting, canoeing, and kayaking.

  8. Humans Utilizing Water as a Resource Energy • Water wheels use the force of water to generate power for machinery. Dams – hold back and control the flow of water • In a hydroelectric dam, water rushes through and turns a machine called a turbine generating electricity.

  9. Humans Utilizing Water as a Resource Local Sources of Hydropower: • Cowans Fold Hydro Station • Located in Huntersville, NC • Approximately 20 minutes north of Charlotte • On Lake Norman • Largest hydro station owned by Duke Energy • Made in 1963 • Cowans Ford Dam created Lake Norman • Lake Norman is the largest man-made body of fresh water in NC

Sometimes organisms keep energy to use for bodily functions or some give off energy in the form of heat. Only about 10% of energy is actually passed along to the next trophic level. Warm Up: List the three groups of ocean life…hint, you listed these groups on your graphic organizer. Define and give examples of each type. Name and describe the three zones of the ocean. • Homework: • 1. Complete the Study Guide for our test next class!!!! Page 31 Page 32
