Grade 7 agenda:

HOMEWORK:

  • Finish classwork calculations NLT tomorrow for class.

DO NOW:

  • PLEASE GET OUT YOUR HANDOUT AND CALCULATIONS FROM YESTERDAY

LESSON:

Preview: You will be making a poster/diagram of the pond system as it relates to the water cycle.

  • All of your calculations will be used to add data to the diagram.

  • Each set of calculations will be checked by me and be worth 5 points toward the final grade

    • total, four sets worth 20 points together.

 

Calculating direct Precipitation into illig's pond:

using PRECIPITATION DATA to FIND the AVERAGE PRECIPITATION PER DAY during April

  • Complete the following CALCULATIONS using FDSS format in a neat and formally prepared paper.

  • Start a new paper - different from the evaporation paper.

  1. identify the April precipitation in inches

  2. convert this to cm using the equivalency 2.54 cm = 1 inch

  3. convert precipitation in inches to meters using 100 cm = 1 m

  4. multiply precipitation in meters by the area of the pond to determine volume.

  5. Determine the average daily precipitation falling in Illig's pond during the month of April.

Use the formulas given on the handout for evaporation - or create your own where needed.

  • check in with me.

CHECK CALCULATIONS UP TO THIS POINT

MODEL ON BOARD

STUDENTS TO COMPLETE DRAFT OF CALCULATIONS

CHECK FOR "GOOD" RESULTS

ONCE YOU HAVE A GOOD RESULT - NORMALIZE DATA FOR SECONDS

OUR OTHER FLOWS ARE CALCULATED IN M3 PER SECOND

HOW WILL YOU CONVERT THIS TO THE SAME UNIT?

DO SO.

CONCLUDE: IS PRECIPITATION AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE POND SYSTEM?
