Review Macro ID w/key; I2 Strategy: Interpret Temperature & Dissolved Oxygen graphs; Temp & DO reading

Field Trip: 8am-1:30pm Thursday, October 6th!

First Unit Test & Interactive Notebook Check: Oct. 11th/12th!

Finish Macroinvertebrates:

Turn to p.15 in your Interactive Notebook - this is where you should have glued your Macroinvertebrate ID practice worksheet.

Check your answers using the Macroinvertebrate ID KEY.

In our Salmon Unit we have covered:
*general ecosystem overview (how it's all connected)
*what makes salmon a keystone species
*hardships facing salmon and their migration, hatcheries, etc
*salmon life cycle
*macroinvertebrates (food source for salmon)

We'll finish our unit by learning about the habitat of Pacific Northwest salmon. 

Turn to p. 16 in your notebook (left side for warm-up)...

WARM UP: 10/4/16 Temperature & Dissolved Oxygen Graph Interpretation using I2 Strategy

When: When you need to make sense of a graph

Why: Because graphs contain a lot of info that can feel overwhelming and confusing

How: 
Step 1 - Identify ("What I See" or WIS Comments)
1. Identify any changes, trends or differences you see in the graph
2. Draw arrows on the graph and write down a "What I See" (WIS) comment for each arrow.
3. Be concise in your comments. These should just be what you observe.
4. Do not try to explain the meaning at this point.

Step 2 - Interpret ("What it Means" or WIM Comments)
1. Interpret the meaning of each "What I See" comment by writing a "what it means" comment.
2. Do not try to interpret the whole graph.

Sentence stems for Interpreting Meaning of a Graph:
I think that...
Based on this data, I predict...
One conclusion I can draw is...
Based on the graph, I would think...
I can infer that...

Glue in the half-sheet handout with graph questions. (HERE)
In your table groups, look at GRAPH 1 and GRAPH 2 together and answer the questions through discussion. Write answers down in your notebook on p.16. Make sure to leave room underneath for color processing.

GRAPH 1 - Temperature
1. Title of graph:
2. Range of values on horizontal scale:
3. Focal salmon type:
4. Optimal temperature range for spawning salmon:
5. Temperature when adult salmon begin to be stressed:
6. Optimal temperature range for macroinvertebrates:
7. Ideal water temperature range for all salmon stages and macroinvertebrates:
8. What factors do you think affect the temperature of rivers?

GRAPH 2 - Dissolved Oxygen
1. Title of graph:
2. Range of values on horizontal scale:
3. Focal organisms: 
4. Optimal Dissolved Oxygen (DO) range for salmon egg incubation:
5. Optimal DO range for carp (fish): 
6. Optimal DO range for mayflies & stoneflies:
7. Oregon DO standard for salmon spawning waters: 
8. According to the graph, how does temperature affect dissolved oxygen levels?

Review answers to Graph Interpretation questions.

Next, read the Handout on Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen, which will be glued onto page 17 of your notebook. Mark the text as we read.

Do color processing on p. 16
