This week we are beginning learning about the water cycle. On Monday, we will review the water cycle. Tuesday-Thursday we will focus on HOW humans and organisms impact the water cycle. Students will research and become experts on a major human impact including: power production, public use, deforestation and transpiration, air pollution, water pollution, water wells, and agriculture/irrigation/ and farming. They will learn about their topic and present the information to the class. On Friday, we will review all that we have learned.

Standards in Focus:

6.ESS2.4 Apply scientific principles to design a method to analyze and interpret the impact of humans and other organisms on the hydrologic cycle.
