communicate information to investigate
the flow of energy and cycling of matter
within an ecosystem.

C. Analyze and interpret data to construct
an argument of the necessity of
biogeochemical cycles

Mr. Science Show

●Great job! You are here because you unlocked that temperature is what
changes to keep the water cycle flowing!

●

Let's do one together

●Decomposition is the term

●Where do we put the term?

●What is the definition?

●Do you know any examples?

●What would a characteristic
be?.

Lesson Summary

➢ Water is necessary for all life on Earth

➢ The water cycle is the process by which

water travels from land to the
atmosphere and back

➢ The parts of the water cycle are

evaporation and transpiration,
condensation, precipitation, and runoff

Keeping Track on

Human Impact

Many human activities can

disrupt the water cycle

Things like damming rivers for

hydroelectricity, irrigation,

deforestation, motor vehicles, and

animal farming can disrupt the

water cycle.

When the water cycle is disrupted,
it’s thrown off balance and doesn’t

work like it should.

Remember, all living things NEED

water and can die without it.
