Instructions


You will work in groups of 4. You will create a
food web out of organisms in your habitat. You
will not be limited to the organisms I have handed
out. Choose appropriate organisms from your
habitat.
Draw a food web on a poster in your group.
Remember it is a cycle! With no beginning and no
end.
Don't forget scavengers and decomposers.

February 29th 5th Period
Water Cycle Warm Up
Write down everything you know about the water cycle
in your journals. Number those items. Let's find out
who knows the most about the water cycle. What is
familiar about the two pictures below? Write 1-5
Writing Sample
• You are a water
droplet. Write a
letter to a relative

Carbon Warm Up
Write down everything you know about carbon in your
journals. Number those items. Let's find out who knows
the most about carbon. What is familiar about the two
pictures below?
(Fri) March 2nd
Carbon Warm Up
Create a venn diagram with three circles labeled water
cycle, carbon cycle and energy flow. Fill it out to the best
of your ability. Keep in mind the LAW OF
CONSERVATION OF
MATTER. Matter/mass/
energy cannot be created
or destroyed it can only
change forms.
(Mon-Tues) March 5th-6th
Nitrogen Warm Up
Name as many compounds in the body that you can that
have nitrogen in them…
Nitrogen gas is inert—which means non-reactive. What
do you think that means?
If nitrogen cycles similarly to carbon, is there more of it
today than there was a million years ago? How do you
know?
March 7th-8th Nutrient Cycling
and Review Warm Up
What do the nitrogen, carbon and water cycle have in
common? Is there anything similar about energy
flow? How are they different? Explain in a few
sentences using terms such as:
cycle(s), flow of energy, powered by, movement,
transformation, photosynthesis, loss of energy,
consistent, energy transformation, etc.
March 9th Warm Up
Any last questions before the test? Write them down
in your journal.
What do you know about carbon? How is the carbon
cycle different from the nitrogen cycle? What does
transpiration mean?
