  1. Biogeochemical Cycles Stephanie, Alissa& Josephine

  2. Introduction • Biogeochemical Cycles are the “interactions between organisms and their environment” • - New World Encyclopedia, 2008

  3. Where did the water go? The Water Cycle and Evaporation • Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor. Students will have the chance to watch an animated simulation of evaporation, learn the steps and causes of evaporation and set up an evaporation experiment and observation in their classroom. Students will make predictions, record data, and analyze the information that is collected.

  4. Finding WaterIntegrating disciplinary skills • Students will be tasked to integrate their computer skills, literacy skills, and science skills to go on a scavenger hunt. Students will be searching through five different websites, all located on our filamentality website to answer questions about The Water Cycle.

  5. Water of the WorldReading and Understanding Graphs • Students will be using their analytical skills to read and interpret three graph. The graphs have useful information as well as information not needed for the assignment. Students will take the necessary and useful information to then make their own graph.

  7. Filamentality Webpage • Our website is separated into six categories: • Biogeochemical Cycles • The Water Cycle • The Phosphorous Cycle • YouTube Videos • Stories • Virtual Field Trips • BioGeoChemical Cycles • This webpage explore both the phosphorus cycle and the Water cycle using reading material, stories, visual representations, manipulatives, and virtual field trips which the students can relate to and easily understand.
