ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How is matter moved through the biosphere?
RELEVANCE: How do I contribute to the matter cycles of nature?
NGSSS: SC.912.E.7.1; MAFS.912.N-Q.1.1; LAFS.910.SL.1.1
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to:
-trace the movement of matter through different biogeochemical cycles
-describe a scientific model of the carbon cycle to show how matter and energy are continuously transferred within and between organisms and their physical environment.
BELL RINGER - Identify the biogeochemical cycles.
VOCABULARY: carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, water cycle, decomposer, detrivore
HOME LEARNING: update notebook
Students completed the bell ringer. This goes in the inside box of the Cornell notes for this essential question. You can find the handout below.
This is the bell ringer. Identify each of the four biogeochemical cycles, placing your choice above each pair of photos. This will go on your Cornell notes page.
Students turned in and reviewed HL 6. HL 6 will go with this set of notes.
We watched two videos on biogeochemical cycles of matter and did a stop and jot about each. You can find the videos below.
This video shares information about the hydrologic (water) cycle and the carbon cycle. Feel free to pause and replay, as the presenter talks pretty fast!
This video shares information about the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorus cycle. Again, pause as needed so that you fully understand each cycle.
Period 5 completed the data section of their lab, which period 6 will complete on Friday.
