A. Your body is about 70% water.
B. Your DNA and your food is made with Carbon

II. Matter is cycled in nature—it is never created or destroyed.
A. In the Water Cycle, water moves between the atmosphere and the
earth—the water on the earth is the same water that was here when
the earth was formed.
1. Evaporation moves water from lakes, streams, oceans, and
other bodies of water into the air.
2. Condensation forms clouds.
3. Precipitation is when water falls to the earth as rain, sleet, or
snow.
B. In the Carbon Cycle, carbon moves between earth, living things, and
the atmosphere.
1. Photosynthesis moves carbon from the atmosphere (CO2) to
living things (Carbon is converted from CO2 into sugar)
2. Animals and other organisms eat plants, taking in carbon.
3. Respiration, Decomposition, and burning fossil fuels returns
CO2 to the atmosphere.
C. In the Nitrogen Cycle, nitrogen moves between earth, living things,
and the atmosphere.
1. Most of the Atmosphere is made of nitrogen (78%), but plants
and animals cannot use it in the form of a gas.
2. Nitrogen Fixation is when bacteria change nitrogen from gas
into a form that plants can use (NO3)
3. Plants get nitrogen from the soil and animals get nitrogen from
eating (either plants or animals).
4. Nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere by excretion (getting
rid of wastes) and decomposition
a. Denitrification is the process bacteria use to returns
nitrogen to a gas in the atmosphere.

The Elements of Life
Living organisms are made up of a great variety of molecules consisting of many atoms (with carbon atoms
playing the main roles), but the number of different elements involved is quite small. Carbon and only five other
elements (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous and sulfur) make up most of Earth’s biomass (the
weight of all living things on Earth). Those six elements, however, can combine in many unique ways to make
the large, organic molecules and compounds that characterize living organisms.
The Carbon Cycle
Carbon is taken out of the atmosphere by plants through the process known as photosynthesis. This
carbon is combined with other elements in complex ways to form organic molecules important to life.
This carbon is later transferred to animals that consume or eat plants. When plants and animals die,
much of their carbon is returned to the atmosphere as the organisms decompose.
Every so often, a plant or animal does not decompose right away. Their bodies are trapped, in locations
where decomposition can simply not take place. This is most common at the bottom of oceans and seas, where
the life forms become buried by sand.
Instead of returning to the atmosphere, the carbon from these life forms is trapped within the Earth. Over
millions of years more and more of the carbon on Earth has been trapped in this manner. Today, almost 99% of
all the carbon on Earth has been locked up deep within the Earth.
The Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrogen is the most abundant element in our planet’s atmosphere. Approximately 78% of the
atmosphere is comprised of this important element. Nitrogen is used by life forms to carry out many of the
functions of life. This element is especially important to plant life. Yet nitrogen in its gaseous form is almost
entirely unusable to life forms. It must first be converted or ‘fixed’ into a more usable form. The process of
converting nitrogen is called fixation.
There are specialized bacteria whose function it is to fix nitrogen, converting it from the atmosphere, so
that it can be used by plants. There are still other bacteria who do the reverse. That is, they return nitrogen to its
gaseous form. After nitrogen is fixed, it can be absorbed, and used by plants, and subsequently by animals. The
process of nitrogen being fixed, used by plants and animals, and later returned to the atmosphere is referred to
as the nitrogen cycle.

The Water Cycle
Transpiration Evaporation of
water from plants
Precipitation - falling of water back
to the earth as snow, sleet, hail, or
rain
Condensation - changing of water
vapor (water in the air) into a liquid
Evaporation - process of water becoming
gas
The water that we currently drink is largely the same water that was on the Earth when the first life
forms lived. Ever since the Earth was first formed, the total amount of water on the planet has stayed
almost the same. How is this possible? Water flows in a cycle.
The water cycle has three main steps. One step of the water cycle is evaporation. Evaporation is
changing of water from liquid to gas. Evaporation occurs when you leave a full glass of water outside for
a while and when you come back it is only half full. A second part involves water condensing into clouds.
Condensation occurs when you leave a cold drink outside on a warm day and the outside of the drink
gets wet. A third part of the water cycle is precipitation. After water precipitates, and it hits the earth, it is
called runoff, until it reaches rivers, lakes, or oceans. Then the Water cycle can begin again!

Biome Travel Brochure
Due Date: ___________________________
How many people will work on a single project? _________
Objective:
To learn about the different biomes (rainforest, grassland, desert, tundra, aquatic) while having fun and
practicing our powers of persuasion.
Background:
As we know, the Earth consists of many diverse environments. Ecologists group these environments
into biomes, large areas on earth that have similar weather conditions and ecosystems. Not all
organisms can live in every biome because of their adaptations to different conditions; for various
reasons, even many humans prefer to only reside in one particular biome.
Your Position:
In this activity, you are going to pretend that you are a travel agent who is trying to convince tourists
(the class) to visit a particular destination in a particular biome. You will be assigned a specific biome
and will create a travel brochure to make your biome look as “real-talk” as possible.
The Goal:
Through a short 2-3 minute presentation of your travel brochure, you must convince your fellow
classmates and your teacher to want to travel to your biome destination. Several of you will be
assigned the same biome, and the student who makes their biome the most attractive to travel to (by
class vote) will receive extra points on their project.
How to:
I.
Your travel brochure must fulfill the following requirements:
01. Be tri-folded (a single sheet of paper folded into three sections).
02. The front should clearly show which biome you have, what your “travel agency” is named,
an illustration of your biome, and have an overall creative “flare” to entice the traveler.
03. The two inside flaps should
a. describe your biome (precipitation, temperature, dominant plants and animals, etc.)
b. identify some real places (countries, cities, etc.) located in your biome
c. point out its main animals and plants
d. include activities that we might enjoy doing there. These two flaps can be
organized as you wish, as long as they both contain all of the previous
requirements.

04. Overall, each student’s (or group’s) travel brochure will be completely unique and should
be as creative as possible (you can hand draw or find another way to get pictures).
II. Aside from this brochure, you will also give a 2-3 minute presentation of your biome to try to “sell”
your biome as THE BEST one to travel to and also to help “teach” the class about it.
