Water in Ecosystems School/program name Date

Background Information (for facilitator) Water ecosystems include rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, marshes, estuaries, and oceans. Marshes are sometimes referred to as wetlands. Each water ecosystem has different kinds of water. Water can be classified as fresh, salt, or brackish (both salt and fresh). The movement of the water also helps to define the water ecosystem. Some waters move in waves, other waters flow, while some do not move at all. Each water ecosystem also has different kinds of organisms that live there. These organisms are specially suited for their environment. Physical adaptations help them survive. Some also have the ability to alter their environment to meet their needs. Humans are organisms that have learned to change their environment to meet their needs. However, some of these changes come at the expense of other organisms. We are learning the importance of protecting these water ecosystems.

Agenda Opening (30 minutes) Setting the Stage (30 minutes) Activity: Building an Aquarium Terrarium – Setting up the Aquarium (45 minutes) Break (15 minutes) Activity: Watersheds (45 minutes) Activity: It’s All Downstream (45 minutes) Lunch (30 minutes) Recess: The Great Jungle Fire (30 minutes) STEMtastic Careers (30 minutes) Activity: Building an Aquarium Terrarium - Assembly (45 minutes) Mind Snacks (15 minutes) Cyber Investigation: Go Fishing – Thrill of the Catch (45 minutes) STEM Camp Notebook Reflection (10 minutes) Wrap Up (5 minutes) Dive Into Digital Project (60 minutes)

Learning Objectives To identify varying water ecosystems To explain that water is a vital, natural resource To determine reasons that can stress the water supply

Today’s Vocabulary Ecosystem Watershed Salt Water

Setting the Stage

Why are certain species more suitable for a particular ecosystem? Exploration: Water Ecosystems

Activity: Building an Aquarium Terrarium Setting up the Aquarium

Video: Intro

Activity: Watersheds

Activity: It’s All Downstream

STEMtastic Careers During today’s STEMtastic Careers, environmental scientists are the focus. Environmental scientists identify pollution and other environmental problems and design solutions. They figure out what is in the air, water, and soil to make sure that the environment is safe and minimize hazards to the health of the environment and population.

Activity: Building an Aquarium Terrarium Assembly

Mind Snacks

Cyber Investigation: Go Fishing Go Fishing

Notebook Reflection Describe a favorite memory involving water. What is one way you can protect a local water ecosystem? Give thoughts on becoming an environmental scientist. What is one problem that you may encounter and what are some possible solutions that you would want to try?
