Today's agenda:

20 minutes to finish 'Understanding the Environment' READING and GUIDED NOTES

Glue guided notes into notebook and get checkmark when finished.

Do left-side color processing; remember, this should be able to stand alone as a representation of what you learned on the right hand side (no random drawings, show me what you learned!; here's a student example:

Review answers to guided notes together with 'Stand Up Game'
Watch video 'What is Environmental Science' (4 mins)

Begin Unit 2: 'Understanding the Environment' (reading & guided notes)

Grades from interactive notebook and tests are in Synergy (You'll get Unit 1 tests back once everyone has taken the test)

Makeup and retakes on tests MUST be done during tutorial this Thursday or Friday! 

Today during class I will be handing out tutorial invites for this week if you are missing work or have a C or lower

We started this course by examining a keystone species in our local ecosystem: the salmon.


Now we will step back and look at the bigger picture.

Turn to the next open right hand page in your notebook
(it should either be 19 or 21 depending on if you glued in your Unit 1 Study Guide)

Page Heading - 
Unit 2: Understanding our Environment (+ today's date)

Learning Objective: I can explain what environmental science is, its goals, its history, and the fields of science that contribute to it.

Today you will be reading an excerpt from an Environmental Science textbook which is an overview of Environmental Science (p.5-11)
CLICK HERE FOR READING  
You will also complete a set of guided notes that go along with the reading. These will be glued in your notebook under today's heading and Learning Objective. Some of the questions are answered directly in the reading and some are implied from the reading.
CLICK HERE FOR GUIDED NOTES

When you finish with the reading and the guided notes, do left-side color processing to represent what you learned from the reading and note-taking. Don't just draw random pictures! Show me that you learned and understood.
I will give you a checkmark for a completed guided notes worksheet when you finish.

Extra Credit: 'Troubled Waters' documentary

Watch 'Troubled Waters' documentary (48 mins)

Write a 3 paragraph (1 full page) summary of the film, answering these questions:
-What is the problem being addressed by this film?
-What is the evidence the film presents to support their claim? (name specific details from the film)
-What are some possible solutions to the problem?

Up to 10 points extra credit based on thoroughness of answering the above questions!

Extra Credit for A Day: 'The End of the Line' documentary

We have an extra 'A' day in the schedule due to PSAT/Career Day/Early Dismissal next Wednesday, so...

Today we will watch the documentary 'The End of the Line' 
As the world's demand for fish and other seafood increases and the technology available to commercial fisherman becomes more sophisticated, the annual harvest from global seaports has grown tremendously in recent years. However, the rise of industrialized fishing has not come without consequences, and many environmentalists and oceanographers believe that the current demand for fish and the methods used to fulfill it are taking an irreparable toll on the world's oceans, with some speculating that the seas could be literally fished-out by 2048 if current trends do not change. 
The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet. It's hard to imagine, but about 97 percent of the Earth's water can be found in our oceans. Of the tiny percentage that's not in the ocean, about two percent is frozen up in glaciers and ice caps.

Complete accompanying WORKSHEET for up to 10 extra credit points!

Work on Study Guide/Notebooks; Field Trip Attendees share out; Crumple & Shoot Review Game; Study Guide KEY

Unit 1 Test and Interactive Notebook check 
next class period, Tues. 11th/Wed. 12th! 

Please continue work on study guide and interactive notebooks...use your time wisely & stay focused!

Salmon Watch Field Trip Attendees share out
Photos HERE!
What we learned:
-We were on the Zig Zag River which feeds into the Sandy River, which feeds into the Columbia River
-The salmon we saw were Spring Chinook
-2 million salmon travel up the Columbia River annually
-16 years ago on 500,000 made it up the Columbia
-Wild salmon have stronger DNA than hatchery salmon
-Fish biologists only allow wild salmon to migrate upstream
-Hatchery salmon have no adipose fin 
-Female salmon lay ~4000 eggs, only 1 adult makes it back!
~500 salmon make it back to the Zig Zag River, which means there had to be ~2 million eggs to begin with!

Option: Play Crumple & Shoot!

TEST NEXT TUES/WED & NOTEBOOKS DUE!!! 100 pts

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.

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:
