Before starting the activity, mark whether you agree (+) or disagree (—) with each statement below.

After completing the activity, mark whether you agree (+) or disagree (—) with each statement below. Under each statement, explain how the activity gave evidence to support or change your ideas.

BEFORE AFTER

1. Dead zones form when bacteria use up so much oxygen in the water that other organisms can’t survive.

2. The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is caused by nutrient runoff into the Mississippi River.

3. The Gulf of Mexico dead zone is about the size of a city block.

4. There are multiple sources of nutrients that contribute to dead zones.

5. Dead zones occur only because of human activity.

6. The number and size of dead zones has been increasing over time.

7. Once a dead zone occurs, it can never be reversed.

STUDENT SHEET 8.3STORY IDEAS

My water molecules are:

Atmosphere • part of a dark rain cloud above my town

• in the wind blowing over some mountains

• rising in warm, wet air over the ocean

Groundwater • slowly dripping through layers of rock after a flood

• frozen in the middle of layers of soil

• seeping into the bottom of a deep well in my town

Ocean • floating in the middle of the ocean

• in a gentle wave hitting the beach in my town

• flowing in a current from Florida to Georgia

Organisms • evaporating off of the leaf of a plant

• in the exhaled breath of a town resident

• on the skin of a sweaty horse

Precipitation • part of the rain that has been pouring down in my town

• in the snow that is falling on mountaintops

• forming icicles along the roof edge of a building

Land • in the river that is flooding my town

• floating in the middle of a large lake

• forming a small puddle on the sidewalk
