Round 1: Turn & Talk with your groups about the images above. (make sure you pull the sliders)
Why did the water disappear?
Round 2: Extend the conversation with a 2nd Turn & Talk response to the images using one or more of the following terms:
Why did the water disappear?
Round 3:
Turn & Talk for a 3rd time creating a series of three statements using the following set of conjunctions:
“Because… But… So…”
Why did the water disappear?
Example: Mr. Pinho is tired BECAUSE he was up late making an awesome lesson for his students, BUT it's ok since they appreciate him SO it was worth it.
Activity Four
Check for Understanding
(5 min)
Check for Understanding:
Which statement correctly describes the role of one process involved in the cycling of water between two of Earth’s systems illustrated in the model?
(1) During condensation, liquid water in a lake changes into water vapor, cycling water from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere.
(2) During infiltration, water moves from the atmosphere into plants, cycling water from the atmosphere to the biosphere.
(3) During transpiration, plants release water vapor, cycling water from the biosphere to the atmosphere.
(4) During runoff, water moves upward from the geosphere into clouds, cycling water from the geosphere to the atmosphere.
Learning Intention
Students will be able to...
Explain how water moves through Earth's systems and how human activities can change the water cycle.
We've examined how water moves naturally through Earth's systems. Now we're going to use that understanding to explain how humans can change those movements.
