Remember to be studying for your quiz on "Source of Water in the World and Your Community". Review the goals you had for this unit and be sure you can discuss them.
  • Identify and analyze the various sources and distribution of salt and fresh water on Earth.
  • Interpret data and a topographic map to determine the water sources that your community uses for drinking water.
  • Generate a graphical model of the transport of water between reservoirs within the water cycle.
  • Develop a method of determining the amount of fresh water that could be collected from your school roof.
Study the Geo Words:
  • water (hydrologic) cycle
  • closed system
  • evaporation

It does include surface water runoff and other aspects of the water cycle.

This section started on page R146 in your EarthComm textbook. After writing your goals (shown above) in your own words, you did a "Think About It" activity. Based on hearing a meteorologist say "We received one inch of rain yesterday." you had to discuss how much water that was.

Investigate Part A was the distribution of water in the hydrosphere. You started with a 1 liter beaker of water and placed various amounts in test tubes representing the amount of water stored in ice, ground water, etc.

Part B was investigating the local use of water. You reviewed data on water use in Orange County.

Part C was your drawing of the water cycle.

Part D was determining the amount of rain water you could collect from the roof of the school.

This section also included a short video on the Florida aquifer.
