Wastewater treatment assignment

1.     Create a diagram that identifies the steps of wastewater treatment.  Label the parts.

2.     Describe what would happen to D.O.  and BOD at each of these stages (use a graph to do this)

3.     Describe how the treatment plant is designed to maximize the DO availability during the process

4.     Describe the material cycling of nitrogen in the wastewater treatment plant.  Include the chemical reactions associated with this cycling and the bacteria that drive the reactions

you may use the miller texts and the internet to do this.

You do not need to turn this in electronically.  We will be using this on monday.

Classwork oct 19th

1.  Write a paragraph per biogeochemical cycle that identifies 2 specific ways in which humans influence the cycle and what the resulting global impacts are associated with the human influence.

(the internet may be used to research this)

2.Complete the following essay. (No internet resources or notes)

Root Nodule Lab due oct 18th

Dissection of a Root Nodule

Examine roots under the microscope on low power.  Sketch and intact nodule and root here:

Obtain a razor blade, slice the nodule open sagitally (so you can see the cut surface of one side). Describe the appearance of your nodule.  If yours “didn’t work’ describe the appearance of someone’s who did.  Sketch

What process occurs in the nodules?

What conditions are indicated by what you observed in a nodule

What compound provided by the clover plant provides this condition?

What is the importance of this process in the biosphere?

Oct 2nd in class assignment

You are going to watch planet earth from pole to pole.

During the film identify the following with specific examples

1. What shapes life on Planet Earth?

2. What happens to Arctic sheet ice during the spring and summer?

3. What transformation takes place at 50 degrees latitude?

  

4. Describe the sunlight in the tropics.

5. What shapes food chains in the ocean?

6. How does the sun create rain storms?
