Es 3rd Quarter Overview 09 10
1. Third Quarter Overview – Hydrology and Meteorology
During the third quarter (January 5 – March 11), science classes will be studying the following:
• Earth’s fresh water and salt water resources
• Physical features of the ocean
• Atmosphere and how it interacts to cause weather
• Climate
March 8 - 9: Review for interim exam
March 10 - 11: Students take exams
Chapter 11 – Fresh water
Students should be able to:
1. Illustrate and describe the water cycle and the processes required to move water from one place to another.
2. Explain how the earth stores water underground.
3. Analyze water conservation practices and methods used to protect water resources.
water cycle precipitation runoff percolation transpiration evaporation
