Unit 5 Hydrology
Standard
S6E3. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to recognize the significant role of water in Earth processes.
a. Ask questions to determine where water is located on Earth’s surface (oceans, rivers, lakes, swamps, groundwater, aquifers, and ice) and communicate the relative proportion of water at each location.
b. Plan and carry out an investigation to illustrate the role of the sun’s energy in atmospheric conditions that lead to the cycling of water. (Clarification statement: The water cycle should include evaporation, condensation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration, groundwater, and runoff.)
c. Ask questions to identify and communicate, using graphs and maps, the composition, location, and subsurface topography of the world’s oceans.
d. Analyze and interpret data to create graphic representations of the causes and effects of waves, currents, and tides in Earth’s systems.
Vocabulary
Water cycle, aquifer, condensation,
evaporation, runoff, ground water,
ocean water, humidity, precipitation,
transpiration, infiltration, tide, wave

Learning Target
- I can analyze data tables and graphs to determine how much of Earth is covered with water, and what portion consists of oceans, rivers, lakes, and ice.
- I can model that less than 1% of Earth's water is available for human use.
- I can analyze water conservation practices and issues
Dec 5We began to work on the notes for unit 5 (hydrology)
