  13. Look how lush & fertile an estuary looks from space!

  14. 2 types of estuary: SALT MARSH Atlantic Carolina coasts Stinky cord grass Absorbs tons of moisture MANGROVES Louisiana & gulf Hurricane proof trees Absorbs tons of moisture Great breeding grounds--nursery

  16. 2 types of estuary: 2X life & nutrients SALT MARSH Atlantic Carolina coasts Stinky cord grass Absorbs tons of moisture MANGROVES Louisiana & gulf Hurricane proof trees Absorbs tons of moisture

  17. Water Filtration Lab Tables = Groups - Follow directions and complete lab sheet as a group (your group is given an overall grade) • You will be choosing three materials to filter out our ‘polluted’ water. • Place the filtration in any order in your tube so long as the tissue is at the bottom. • Your objective is to filter out all ‘pollution’ in the water. • Complete beginning of Lab Sheet before beginning to experiment. • Spills = You are the newest custodian tomorrow

  18. Extra time? Begin Estuary Extras
