- Identify and explain four parameters of water quality.
- Identify and explain the processes within the water cycle.
- Evaluate and identify points of change in water quality caused by changes within the water cycle.
- Identify the properties of water.
- Evaluate and explain the influence of the properties of water on behavior of water.
- Identify and explain watersheds.
Language Objectives: You will...
Assignment #1: Water on Earth Poster
Step 1: Watch the video How much water is on Earth?
Step 2: Create a poster of the breakdown of water on Earth
Requirements:
- Labels of water on Earth (ex. ocean, etc)
- Picture (Graph or Chart) [can be hand written or created using Google Sheets]
- Percentages
Assignment #2:
Step 1: Complete the Water Quality Notes (To be checked by Ms. Burnett for a HW grade)
Step 2: Science Journal (SJ) #2
- How is density measured and calculated?
- How is the density of water measured?
- What determines the density of liquid water?
- How does the density of water change based on the water quality parameters (DO, pH, Water temperature and salinity)?
Requirements:
Questions 1, 2 can be answered in a sentence, while questions 3 and 4 need to be a paragraph response.
*Work cited if outside sources are used.
Assignment #3: Water cycle
Step 1: Review the water cycle (you learned this in the 6th grade) (seen resources to right)
Step 2: In a presentation (Google Slides, etc.), identify the following: (Groups of 2 or Individually)
- Components of the water cycle (ex. evaporation, etc.)
- Phases of matter
- Water phase transitions and causes (Explanation of phases use this link http://www.chem4kids.com/files/matter_changes.html) and causes (ex. evaporation is caused by the increase in energy from the sun, etc.)
- Provide as many examples of examples of these changes in matter in the water cycle
- Identify potential changes in water quality* parameters with explanations of cause of changes (ex. evaporation causes a(n) _________ in salinity because..., etc.)
*Water quality refers to the locations of the water cycle that involves large quantities of liquid water on the surface of the Earth (coastal areas and oceans).
Assignment #4: Properties of Water
Step 1: Complete the pre lab questions in the Properties of Water Lab (See handout or below)
Provide answers in the boxes on the document provided.
Step 2: Complete Lab in Class on Wednesday
Be sure to complete the data collection found in lab packet (You and your lab partner may have the same data and work together to answer the questions. Everyone will be turning in a lab report)
Step 3: Complete post Lab questions
Provide answers in the boxes on the document provided.
