L.17.10
"L.17.10 Recovery"
Diagram and explain, in paragraph form, the water, carbon, and nitrogen cycle. Be sure to label all the processes and draw the arrows pointed in the direction in which matter moves. For example, Carbon travels from CO2 in the atmosphere to plants by the process of photosynthesis. An arrow should go from the label "CO2" to the "Tree" and the arrow should be labeled "Photosynthesis."

"L.17.4 Recovery"
Write a 5 paragraph explanatory paper explaining how seasonal variations, climate changes, and succession help shape the ecosystems. Be sure to explain how seasonal variations, climate changes, and successions are caused in your paper.
L.17.2
"L.17.2 Recovery"
Create a table comparing the 6 factors (chemistry, geography, light, depth, salinity, and temperature) and life for the 11 aquatic ecosystems (running water, standing water, wetlands, unique wetlands, salt marshes, mangrove swamps, coastal ocean, continental ocean, coral reefs, open ocean, and benthic zone). Draw a venn diagram for each factor (except geography, focus on oxygen levels for chemistry) comparing what life is found in each condition. For example, a venn diagram for salinity may have a circle for freshwater overlapping with a circle for salt water, where the overlapping area is brackish water. You would then write the name (common names are acceptable v. scientific names) of an organism in each portion of the venn diagram.
