unit two: hydrology
Water cycle and water scarcity learning targets:
- I can identify and define the 6 stages of the water cycle.
- I can identify the two driving forces of the water cycle and explain their role in the water cycle.
- I can identify where water is located on Earth and explain how much of that water is usable for humans.
- I can locate places in the world where water scarcity occurs and identify the impact on society.
groundwater (fruitvale) learning targets:
- I can categorize earth’s materials as permeable or impermeable.
- I can interpret maps and models to determine where the aquifers and aquitards may exist.
- I can compare and contrast point source and non-point source contamination.
- I can explain with words and models what ppm and ppb means in terms of water contamination.
- I can explain the impact to humans that a contaminant may have on a water system.
- I can collect and interpret data and evidence to support my claim about Fruitvale’s groundwater problem.
weathering and erosion learning targets:
- I can compare and contrast weathering and erosion.
- I can explain how weathering, erosion and deposition change the surface of the Earth.
