TAILIEUCHUNG - Lecture Science 1 - Associate Degree in Education: Lecture 14 - Dr. Arshad Bashir
This lecture focuses on the hydrosphere and atmosphere: the water and air on and above Earth’s surface that make it habitable for life as we know it. By creating models, conducting research, and designing and carrying out investigations, Student explore the key concepts addressed in this unit. Those concepts include the water cycle, the nature of the atmosphere, and the radiant energy from the Sun, which creates convection currents of wind and water that drive weather patterns and climate. | Lecture # 14 SCIENCE 1 ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION Earth: The habitable planet Earth: The habitable planet This week focuses on the hydrosphere and atmosphere: the water and air on and above Earth’s surface that make it habitable for life as we know it. By creating models, conducting research, and designing and carrying out investigations, Student explore the key concepts addressed in this unit. Those concepts include the water cycle, the nature of the atmosphere, and the radiant energy from the Sun, which creates convection currents of wind and water that drive weather patterns and climate. In their investigations, Student Teachers examine the impact of pollution and natural changes in the hydrosphere and atmosphere that occur now and in the past. Activity: The Water Cycle One way to introduce Student to the water cycle is by together defining the hydrosphere. Then divide them into small groups and have them brainstorm all the sources of water on Earth’s surface. Have them begin with the local area and expand the scope from there. Ask them to create a concept map on which they list all the sources of water in their area. Student will probably begin with the obvious rivers and lakes, but if they stop there, prompt them with the question: what happens to the raindrops that fall on the landscape? They should be able to complete the concept map with clouds, most soils, underground water, and so on. Activity continue Use this initial concept map as an introduction to the water cycle. If possible, provide Student Teachers with websites, readings, diagrams, and other resources. They should identify and simulate the processes by which water: becomes part of the atmosphere via evaporation, sublimation, and transpiration condenses or precipitates out of the atmosphere flows through the geosphere via surface runoff, infiltration, and percolation. Activity Session II In the second part of this session, provide Student with data on temperature and precipitation in .
