Weight of a Hurricane and other Stuff

Wednesday, September 29th. Today we started class reviewing a little bit of the Water Cycle, emphasizing how much water is stored in the oceans. We listened to this story from NPR about the weight of a hurricane: Weight of a Hurricane. We also watched the cartoon that explains how all that water can stay up in the sky. We read part of a science text about primary production: the rate at which producers like plants can produce sugars through photosynthesis. We highlighted parts of the text and added some definitions of terms. Here are the definitions in Google doc format: Ecosystem Ecology Notes. We will finish the reading and note taking tomorrow.
