Do Now: Silent Ball
Driving Question: How does soil texture affect the ecosystem along the Pigeon River? Soil Texture Test What is the texture of the soil along Pigeon River?
We put all of the tree identification data together in the class tree species spreadsheet. Then we read this excerpt from a Wisconsin DNR report and answered questions on this Handout.
1. You will add this data to your project slideshow we will be starting (It is on Google Classroom, see link below)
Brainstorm - What would we highlight or include if we were to create an exhibit of the Pigeon River area we have been studying?

Do Now: Silent ball
1. What are the six components of soil? 2. Soils include a variety of gran sizes which can be used to classify the soil type.
3. Vocabulary 3 column - Add these vocabulary words
Sample A and Sample B
5. Take one of the sheets of tree data and add it to the class tree species spreadsheet. 6. What kind of trees would we expect to find in a floodplain forest?
7. You will add this data to your project slide show we will be starting.
Exit Ticket: How far did you get today? Do Now: Play a game of silent ball Today's Learning goal: The Pigeon River is a system of living and non-living things affecting each other. Today we are using maps (models) of the area to determine the floodplain in our conservation area and connect that to different soil and plant types. Long-range goal: Determine how to improve and conserve the habitat for better ecosystem health and balance, especially for birds and pollinators. Driving Question: What part does soil play in the plant community of the Pigeon River Ecosystem? TASK 1:
Task 2: Soil is not just dirt lab - SEE THINK WONDER - Look at soil under the microscope and use your background knowledge to try to determine what the six components of soil are that make it more than dirt and able to support plant life. Exit Ticket: Be able to tell me two of the six components of soil as you leave Do Now: Please open our Jamboard and brainstorm questions on slide 6 using the focus statements at the top. Driving Question: How can we use elevation and soil science to predict the types of plants that would grow well along the Pigeon River? Learning Goal: Use a model (topographic map) to obtain and communicate information about an environmental site and make predictions about the elevation and soil would affect which species grows best along the river. Reading a Topographic Map and predicting Pigeon River riparian edge soils
Do First: "My Dad's an Alien"
What was her claim? What was her evidence? What was her reasoning? Why is reasoning necessary when making an argument or answering a scientific question? Studio Time for 15 minutes: Please finish writing your evidence and reasoning for the water parameters we tested. TURN IN Lesson: Reading a topographic map of Pigeon River. Exit Ticket: "Reading a Topographic Map - B" Do Now: What do you think is the most common contaminant going into rivers this time of year? Discuss with a partner and be ready to share with your reasoning.
What is conductivity?
What did we do last week?
Task today:
EXIT TICKET: Verbally at the door - How much did you get done? What question do you have about this assignment? Do Now: Please sit with your group from yesterday.
