Cover –

– Title: Water Power & Bio Geo Chemical Cycles – Drawing related to title – Name – Period

Page #1 – Water Power Notes

• Define the following words: – Matter – Mass – Bent molecular shape – Fluid – Liquid – Capillary action • Draw an example of Capillary action and explain how it works – Surface Tension • Draw an example of surface tension and explain how it works

Break the Surface Tension, SPARKLE!!!

Fill the petri dish with a layer of water Ask Mrs. Lee for some SPARKLE!!!

Get one drop of soap stock solution on a paper napkin Dip the point of the paper clip in the soap solution Put the point in the center of the Sparkly Water (It only happens once so pay attention!) Write Observations Question: How does the surface tension change in the experiment?

Empty Sparkly water in the designated waste container.

Clean up and reset lab for next class period

Page #2 – Water power Notes

• Define the following words: • Gravity • Pressure – atmospheric – high – Low • Siphon – Draw a two cup siphon and label the following: » Atmospheric Pressure » Water pushed upward » Gravity » Water pulled downward – Explain what causes the siphon to start, and three ways the siphon will stop

Siphon Challenge

Challenge One – Using just the

two cups

and

one length of tube

Siphon one cup of water into the other without touching them once the siphon has started Question: How does atmospheric pressure help the water move up the tube?

Questions: What does gravity do to help create the siphon?

Challenge Two – Reverse the Siphon without starting over Question: Does the water flow from high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?

Challenge Three – Siphon most of the water in one cup flow into the other Question: At what point will the siphon stop? Challenge Four – Siphon water from one cup to the other cup and then to the beaker

Take out your booklet and copy for page #4 Title: 16 Nutrients Plants Need

Macronutrients • Nutrients that plants need in large quantities –

Hydrogen & Oxygen

– Plants get these elements from water – – –

Carbon Nitrogen

– Plants get this nutrient from carbon dioxide – Promotes healthy leaves and stems

Phosphorus

fruit, and roots – Important for germination and growth of flowers, – – –

Potassium

– Helps plants fight diseases

Calcium

– Helps to build cell walls

Magnesium & Sulfur –

Helps produce chlorophyll Micronutrients • Nutrients that plants need in small quantities –

Iron

– Helps form chlorophyll and transfer oxygen – – – – –

Manganese

– Keeps leaves green

Boron

– Helps make nicely formed stems and fruit

Zinc & Copper

– Helps the plant produce proteins

Molybdenum

– Helps beans and peas form root nodules

Chlorine

– Stops plants from having stubby roots and wilting
