Water Cycle Creative Project

Three Parts:
1. Model/Poster/Multi-Media Presentation
2. Brief explanation/presentation of your project
3. Short expository essay explaining the water-cycle etc. (see description below)

Your task is to create a model or detailed poster or multi-media presentation that represents or shows our planet’s water cycle. You will be required to explain your model/poster for evaluation.
You must include the following…
*The stated terms might not be included in your model/poster but should be able to be explained from your model/poster/multi-media.
Evaporation*
Evapotranspiration*
Condensation*
Precipitation
Ground water
Runoff
Well
Aquifer
Watershed
Surface water

In your own words write a brief expository essay explaining the water cycle and its importance to the earth’s system. In your essay include a paragraph that would explain the affect that pollution would have on the whole system.

In order to receive your project mark you will be required to complete a self-assessment evaluating your if all required components are included in your project (use the checklist above to make sure). Your peers will complete a peer evaluation of your presentation which will evaluate how well you can explain your project. Your teacher will evaluate your essay/explanation of the water-cycle.

Please contact Miss Anholt if you have any questions (anholta@spsd.sk.ca)

Shattered Reading Update

Monday is PJ and Hot Chocolate Day. We will be selling hot chocolate (for $1.00) so that you can read and enjoy during Reading Period first thing in the morning.

During that time you will need to read up to chapter 15 in Shattered (you may also read the NT).

See you Monday in your PJ's!

Float or Sink?

Encourage One Another

Remember to encourage one another and build each other up. I was so encouraged by the kind words that you wrote on my "report card." It made my week! Thank-you.

1 Thessalonians 5: 10-18

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.

Paul’s Final Advice
12 Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. 13 Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.
14 Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are lazy. Encourage those who are timid. Take tender care of those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

15 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.

16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
