Warm Up, October 17th, 20131) How is salt filtered from water? Could
there be another way? If so, what?2) Why do estuaries contain double the
life of any other water based habitat?3) What happens when the volume of a
substance decreases?
What happens when fresh & salt water meet?
MAYBE A FRESH WATER CROCODILE WANTS A SALTY MEAL IN THE SEA!
MAYBE IT WANTS A SHARK DINNER!
Double the plant life!!!!!
Birds always have something to eat.
BIRDS HAVE PLENTY OF NESTING SITES TOO!

Estuaries have 2x life because 2 ecosystems are colliding!

ESTUARIES: 2 X THE BREEDING & FEEDING!
Look how lush & fertile an estuary looks from space!
2 types of estuary:
SALT MARSHAtlantic Carolina coastsStinky cord grassAbsorbs tons of moisture
MANGROVESLouisiana & gulfHurricane proof treesAbsorbs tons of moisture
Great breeding grounds--nursery

Water Filtration LabTables = Groups
- Follow directions and complete lab sheet as a group (your group is given an overall grade)
- You will be choosing three materials to filter out our ‘polluted’ water.
- Place the filtration in any order in your tube so long as the tissue is at the bottom.
- Your objective is to filter out all ‘pollution’ in the water. - Complete beginning of Lab Sheet before beginning to
experiment.- Spills = You are the newest custodian tomorrow
