Essential question: How does matter move among living and nonliving reservoirs?
Open monday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
A carbon atom can move among atmosphere, ocean, organism, and rock over different timescales.
Build an initial model and explanation for: How does matter move among living and nonliving reservoirs?
Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: carbon cycle; nitrogen cycle; reservoir; flux; feedback.
Open tuesday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Study and explain the week's core ideas: carbon cycle; nitrogen cycle; reservoir; flux; feedback
Open system-cycle diagrams.
Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.
Open wednesday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Interpret flux diagrams and compare reservoir sizes.
Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How does matter move among living and nonliving reservoirs?
Open thursday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Carbon/nitrogen cycle systems model.
Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.
Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.
Open friday Deep Lesson · Model, Worked Example & Practice
Answer the essential question: How does matter move among living and nonliving reservoirs?
Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.
Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
