Many conflicts are overcome with people with uper abilities.
Science has overcome some too.
Ready for an activity to combine science and heros?

​

​Super heros meet super science

For example:If I had to pick a super hero against the super villian invasive speciman; I would pick Super biodiveristy with the super powers of multiplying itself with polymorph(changes not exact duplicates) skills. ​

Example Super hero Meets Science:

Nitrogen Cycle
➢ Nitrogen is vital for life on Earth.
➢ Nitrogen cycles through the

biosphere

➢ Producers like plants can’t use the

form of Nitrogen found in the
atmosphere. It combines with other
elements first. This is called “fixing”
nitrogen.

➢ More bacteria in the soil attach to

form new compounds. This is called
Nitrification.

➢ The Nitrogen can now be absorbed

by plants through their roots.
Animals (and humans) eat the
plants and absorb the Nitrogen.

Nitrogen fixation is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria
that live in the soil and roots of legumes, such as peas,
making these bacteria an essential part of the _____
cycle.

Although nitrogen is the most abundant atmospheric gas, plants cannot use

it from the air.

👏 Bacteria located in the soil convert nitrogen gas into ammonia then into
nitrates which plants are able to absorb through their roots.

the soil.

Standard

I will be able to show my

understanding of the
greenhouse effect.

Learning Target

SEV2. Obtain, evaluate, and
communicate information to construct
explanations of stability and change
in Earth’s ecosystems.

b. Analyze and interpret data to
determine how changes in
atmospheric chemistry (carbon
dioxide and methane) impact the
greenhouse effect.

A greenhouse traps the sun's heat
and keeps plants warmer than they
would be without the greenhouse.
Greenhouse gases do the same
thing for the earth.

The Ozone Layer

The ozone layer is found in the
stratosphere. It covers the entire
planet and protects life on earth
by absorbing harmful ultraviolet-
B (UV-B) radiation from the sun.

It is made up of greenhouse
gases. This is what makes our
planet warm enough to live on.

What do greenhouse gases do in our atmosphere?

😂 They absorb radiation given off by the Earth

❤️

The keep all the air within the Earth

👏 They block harmful radiation from reaching the Earth

🎉 They make the Earth cooler

What are greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases are gases in Earth’s
atmosphere that trap heat. They let sunlight
pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent
the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the
atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases are:

●Water vapor

●Carbon dioxide

●Methane

●Ozone

●Nitrous oxide

●Chlorofluorocarbons

Which of these have you heard of?

Did you know all of these were greenhouse
gasses?

Greenhouse Gases

Which of these are greenhouse gases? What % of the atmosphere are they?

Greenhouse Gases

➢ Greenhouse gases are increasing in

the atmosphere.

➢ Many of them are added by things

that we do and use everyday.

➢ These extra gases are like an extra

blanket around the earth making it
hotter.

Today in the United States, electricity and transportation (cars, trucks and planes)
are responsible for almost 60 percent of carbon dioxide emissions. The rest
comes from agriculture, industry – such as factories that make products we use –
and from energy we use in our homes and businesses.

Q.3. Write T or True if the statement is true; write F or False if the statement is false.

_________ 1. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that supports life on the earth for millions of

years.

_________ 2. The majority of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen and oxygen, greenhouse

gases comprise only a tiny fraction of the atmosphere.

_________ 3. All greenhouse gases are created as a result of human activity.

a) Oxygen

Q.6. Which of the following greenhouse gas is generated by livestock farming and the decomposition of
solid waste in landfills?

Standard

I can give examples of long
and short term natural
climate changes.

I can explain the
consequences of these
changes.

Learning Target

SEV2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate
information to construct explanations of
stability and change in Earth’s ecosystems.

a. Analyze and interpret data related to
short-term and long-term natural cyclic
fluctuations associated with climate change.

(Clarification statement: Short-term
examples include but are not limited to El
Niño and volcanism. Long-term examples
include but are not limited to variations in
Earth’s orbit such as Milankovitch cycles.)

Short term Natural
Climate Change

➢Weather are the conditions of the atmosphere
at a single point in time and space.

➢Climate is the average weather conditions
over long periods of time.

➢Short-term environmental changes typically
last between days to centuries and happen so
quickly that populations of organisms do not
have time to adapt and often migrate or go
extinct.

➢Volcanic eruptions are a type of short-term
change that have cooling effects on the
climate.

➢The sulfuric acids emitted by volcanoes block
solar radiation from enter our atmosphere and
also absorb heat radiated by the Earth; both of
these cool the Earth’s climate.

ENSO Cycles

➢Trade winds encircle the globe and affect
ocean currents.

➢During an El Niño year the trade winds in the
Pacific Ocean weaken which allow the warm
waters along the coast of Australia to move
eastward towards the western coasts of the
Americas.

➢This warm water leads to more precipitation in
the southern US and warmer temperatures.

➢The changes in the trade winds last for a few
months to a year before cycling back to normal
conditions.

➢When the trade winds strengthen it is called La
Niña which brings up colder, nutrient rich,
water along the west coast of the Americas.
