Water Cycle Diagram Project (Evidence)



Ecological Cycle Diagram Project ( 1st Evidence)

Draw a diagram of the any ecological cycle, showing as many energy and matter transfers and transformations as you can. You will need to look up cycles in your books or the internet. Cycles include the carbon cycle, *phosphorous cycle, * nitrogen cycle, *sulfur cycle and water cycle. If you choose a cycle with an (*) next to it, a proficient score will be considered advanced because these (*) cycles are more difficult.

Diagram Requirements

• Inputs should be shown as yellow arrows entering the system

• Outputs should be shown as orange arrows leaving the system

• Use red boxes for storages (Label the name of the storage inside)

• Use blue arrows for flows between storages

• Write Tr on arrows that demonstrates a transfer

• Write Tfm on arrows that demonstrate a transformation
