Water wrap up

Thursday September 12th
 Which statement BEST describes an effect of the low density of frozen water in a lake?
A.  When water freezes, in contracts, decreasing the water level in a lake.
B.  Water in a lake freezes from the bottom up, killing most aquatic organisms.
C.  When water in a lake freezes, it floats, providing insulation for organisms below.*** Remember we discussed how lakes do NOT freeze from the bottom up.  If they did most of the marine life in that lake/pond would die off every year!!!
D.  Water removes thermal energy from the land around a lake, causing the lake to freeze.
 
Before we took our open notes quiz I had you watch the following crash course and instructed you to pull out 5 terms he discussed, jot them down, and then write a statement about each term and how it applies to our study of water.
 
We then took our open notes quiz!!  Tomorrow =  Daily Question Quiz!!!!
