23. Entering the Classroom Get your binder and make sure you have a sharp pencil Get out your packet that says: – Food Webs, Cycles, Biomes Get out your study guide for Food Web CBM and review for your CBM for 5 minutes (you may quietly talk with people around you).

24. CBM (you have 15-20 minutes)

25. Opening Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8- sGusvKo8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8- sGusvKo8&feature=related Everyone needs a sharp pencil and a piece of paper. FREEWRITE ! “Carbon is an element. Each atom of Carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. One Carbon atom combines with two Oxygen atoms to create Carbon Dioxide. Sugars, proteins, and fats all contain carbon atoms. Much of the food we eat is made of carbon.” Where do you think the carbon goes after we eat it? Do you think the Earth will ever run out of Carbon FREEWRITES are continued writing. You must constantly write during the time allotted. If you have already answered the question, please make connections with other parts of the question or write about something related. Above all, keep writing. This first one will be short—about 2-3 minutes.

27. Key Question for Cycles When have you eaten a part of a dinosaur from 210 million years ago?

28. Objectives and Standards Objectives C: Define: Nitrogen Fixation, Denitrification, Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Respiration L: Write sentences and definitions of each word. Standards: II.I.I.1. Explain how matter is transferred from one organism to another and between organisms and their environment (e.g., consumption, the water cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle). II.I.I.2. Know that the total amount of matter (mass) remains constant although its form, location, and properties may change (e.g., matter in the food web).

29. Nitrogen Fixation Nitrogen Fixation is the process used by bacteria that changes nitrogen from a gas into a form plants can use (NO 3 ) Rhizobium trifolii

30. Denitrification Process that returns nitrogen to the atmosphere

31. Respiration Respiration is the process that uses oxygen and returns carbon (carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere.

32. Vocabulary Journal
