I will go back and review my notes on this topic because the class went really fast so I need to dedicate more time to this topic to make sure I understand this well.

I now wonder how it is that the fertilizers go all the way to the ocean because some fields are far away from the ocean and I can't seem to understand how is it possible fertilizers go all the way to the ocean.

There is a clear connection with my project AMP project because golf courses often use fertilizers to maintain the grass in ideal conditions. I was able to learn how dangerous and harmful fertilizers can be to the environment and see the grand scale of harm golf causes to the environment.

2. Once I go home to read the textbook I will either confirm the knowledge that I absorbed today, or, if its wrong, correct the knowledge and look further into the topic to better my knowledge.

3. I know, just from looking at the simple, yet intricate and complicated diagram that the teacher drew on the board that this is a topic that you can go very deep into. So now I wonder just how deep you can go into this topic to truly understand how biogeochemical cycles actually function.

2. I will know I have learned it well if I can explain it to others. Which I am not quite sure if I could explain it in detail right now, but I do get the general idea of the cycles.

3. I wonder what would happen if we did not have one of the cycles. I read that because the phosphorous cycle does not include the atmosphere, the phosphorous levels in the land slowly deplete. Is it possible we run out of it all together? I wonder so many things, these are just some.

2. I would be able to explain it to my peers and also be able to comprehend what the quantities mean. As well as how all the cycles work.

3. I wonder how the matter cycles are affected by the human interventions.

2. I will know if I learned it well if I can be able to explain it with my friends and actually confirm to myself by checking my notes if I am explaining it well.

3. After seeing the complexity and the similarities that every cycle has with each other, I wonder the how extense each cycle goes beyond our 12 Biology Course.

4. The connection between this and my AMP project is that we should learn this so that we have the basics of the environment that surrounds us to create awareness of it as well.

2. I learned it well because now every time I use energy, use a car or get on a plane (or any other CO2 emitting activity) I will remember that I am hurting the planet.

3. Now that I know how I am hurting the planet with my lifestyle (personally) I am very curious to know how as a whole world we are hurting the planet. What are the real numbers of CO2 emittion.

2. When the quiz comes, If I get a good grade it will mean that I really did learn it.

3. How many connections between the different things in the different ecosystems there is.

2. I will know by researching more and learning more about the subject.

3.I now wonder how matter is always on the cycle and wonder if it can somehow be out of the cycle for a period of time.

4. The connection between this and my AMP is that matter is cycling all the time from emission of a boat to cellular respiration.

2. If I can relate it to true scenarios and things that would happen if we didn't have each of the cycles.

3. I wonder about the cycles in different ecosystems and what would happen to the world and the different components of an ecosystem if these cycles do not work as they should.

2. I will know if I learned it well if I can explain the process to someone else. If I am able to thoroughly explain how each of the cycles work and the functions of each, I will know that I have successfully learned this topic.

3. Now, I wonder: What can I personally do to lower my carbon emissions and to be more environmentally friendly? I know there are things to be done, so I'd like to set myself goals that help me and also help the environment that surrounds me.

2. I will know if i learn it when I challenge myself to explain it in a broader way and how it affects population, specially with the problems of fertilizers.

3. Now I wonder what would happens if you take one of the matter cycles out of the picture.

4. I notice that this has something to do with my AMP project because it is mostly about plants and animals which have a large connection in the matter cycles. With out the complete process we would not exist.

2. I will know if I learned this well by checking a small video and seeing if I understand clearly what is going on. In addition, I will corroborate with extra information and read the textbook section.

3. I now wonder what type of regulations governments have to prevent any extreme problems. I was shocked by how easily we can mess up our resources by thrashing extra fertiliser or eating some extra meat.

2. If will know if I learned it well if I am able to explain it to my younger sister in a sense that she can understand it and if I read the textbook, I can understand what it is saying

3. Even though I drew diagrams for each cycles, when I go back home, I wonder if I read the textbook, would I be able to understand the content easier?

I learned not only about all of the cycles, but how they work together to make stuff move around the atmosphere.

2.How will you know you learned it well?

If I can explain how they work together I'd consider that a victory.

3. What do you now wonder about matter cycles?

I still wonder about the overexposure of some elements in the ecosystems. What if we have too much phosphorous? I now know about nitrogen and fishes, but I want to learn beyond that.

1. Today I learned, in greater detail, about biogeochemical cycles. I also learned how disturbances in these cycles, especially those concerning fertiliser used for greater crop yields, affect the general ecosystems. For example, an excess in Nitrogen or Sulphur cause fish deaths because of a lack of oxygen in ocean waters. 

2. I will know if I’ve learned it well if I can explain it in a larger concept. For example, if I can explain why nitrogen run-off from fertiliser affects fish populations and eventually the livelihood of fishermen. 

3. I would like to learn more about the abiotic cycles. 

2. I will know if I learned it well if I can properly explain this and understand what would happen if there is an excess of one element or an abscence of another.

3. I wonder how the abiotic cycles work.

2. I would know if I learned the material by being able to explain in basic words how the cycles work and by reflecting on how my lifestyle affects the world.

3. I wonder how long the abiotic cycles take to be completed as compared to the living cycles.

2. I will know if I learned it well by seeing if I can understand what is going on in all the parts of the drawing we did today, If I have an idea of whats going on it means that I did learn something. 

3. I still wonder if any of the cycles negatively impact another cycle, for example if something goes wrong in the phosphorous cycle or if they do something in particular will it negatively affect the oxygen cycle?

2. I will be able know if I learned by being able to explain it to other people and making it clear with nothing left out.

3. I would like to know the biogeochemicals cycles work together in order to complette their cycles.

2. I can explain this. I can easily talk about it to someone and make them understand the large concept of it.

3. I want to learn more about the underwater streams that carry these fertilizers and their current. How it moves underground.

2. I will know if I learned it well if I am able to explain it and know what it means.

3. I still wonder that if something goes wrong with one cycle will it affect another cycle by not being able to be completed.

2. I'll know I learned my effect on the Earth when I start changing my ways of living and start reducing my footprint on the Earth and start helping out.

3. I wonder what happens to matter cycles in isolated areas when all the chemicals can't cycle on. For example if one tiny soil sample is in a cup, how does matter continue on with their lives.

Today I learned about how other elements apart from Nitrogen cycle through an ecosystem. Furthermore, I learned about CO2 emission and about my own personal ecological footprint.

2.

1. Today I got reminded of how our life styles are not really helping the global situation and how we can actually make a difference. 

2. I can explain how everything cycles around but sometimes when we as the human race start to overuse natural resources this cycle gets messed up.

3. I wonder how these cycles were like when humans weren't around.

4. My project focuses on the promotion of the conservation of the Amazon Rainforest.

I know I learned it well (or at least have the idea) with the activity that we did after the lesson. I consider myself in the right track for now. I wonder how we can change the way elements work for good to maintain our biodiversity sustainable.

1. What did you learn today?

2. How will you know if you've learned it well? 

3. What do you now wonder about matter cycles?

I know that what I learned is actually good, because I used Ptable. A reliable source given to me last year by our chemistry teacher (in my case Ms. Del Cos). Thus I know that I can trust this website and it's information.

Now, I wonder mostly how energy and matter are intertwined. I know, that to some it may be obvious how they work together, but I need to make more research to understand how they work together.

In my case, My AMP project talks about how habitat fragmentation is affecting our way of living and future. Thus the disruption in the flow of energy and matter cycle can be something I can explain in my AMP project, to get into more details.

2. I know I learned this because I had to create an image that would depict the caracteristics of the Hydrogen cycle. In addition, this information will be used for other projects. I will also watch a video to get the whole picture.

3. I wonder how the matter cycles affect the foodchain. The cycles affect the environment and the weather of places and must indeed affect biodiversity. I would like to further research this also.

4. My amp project has a lot to do with the matter cycles. Different biodiversities are affected by weather and the cycles. For example, the amazon rainforest and a ski mountain will have different characteristics that make their weather and environment

2. I think that I will know whether I have learned it well or not once I am assessed or once I have to complete an assignment based on the information that we worked with.

3. I now wonder how it is that scientists have discovered and understood where and how these cycles actually work. It amazes me how they don't even miss the smallest of details imaginable.

4. I think that anything that has to do with biology, in this case matter cycles are important to my AMP project because anything that affects this cycle also affects sustainability and is therefore related to my AMP project.

I will know when I learned this process completely when I can explain the process in simple words because it demonstrates I know the concept so well that I can explain it in my own words.

I wonder how they all become connected to the mineral levels because they are essentially linked but I wonder how all they are connected.

This connects with my project AMP because there are processes that are important for a golf course to be maintained at a good condition because they require minerals to be flowing effectively in order for the grass to grow. These cycles help golf courses be maintained and they may also be affected by the use of pesticides they use in golf courses which I can investigate later on to see if pesticides harm these cycles.

2. I know that I do not know it completely well since it is the first time that I looked deeply at it, but I know that the web whiteboard helped me learn about it since for me it is easier to visualize what I learn than read

3. Now I wonder how all the cycles connect to each other

4. It is a connection between my AMP project because the phosphorus cycle contributes to the working process of the environment. Phosphorus is vital in our ecosystem

2. I know that I have learned it well because of the reason that comes within it. I know that the return flow goes up by the upweiling and then again the percolation brings it down through rain.

3. Now I wonder how all of the other cycles work

4. The connection is that we can learn this to become more self aware of our environment.

2. I know I learned it well since Ms. Farooq gave a clear and good explenation about this including examples using lipids.

3. I wonder now how the other cycles work, and how they move around the ecosystems.

4. The connection between this topic and my AMP is that the lake where I am doing my wakeboarding camp is connected in the Hydrogen Cycle and stores water through precipitation and then evaporates and transpirates through trees and plants. This all affects the ecosystem

2. I will know i learn it well when i look back to our digram and i can explain it without any notes.

3. I wonder if the cycles depend on each other or if they are completely autonomous.

4. Since carbon is essential to life it directly connect to biodiversity

2. I will know I have learned it well, if I am able to explain it to somebody else and that person understands.

3. I wonder if they are the same in different types ecosystems, and if the different levels of efficiency affect the process.

4. This connects to my project amp because nitrogen is everywhere, and if this cycle were not present the animals that are being depicted on my t-shirts would not be able to exist.

I learned specifically about the nitrogen cycle, and how nitrogen affects plants before it returns to the atmosphere.

2. How will you know if you learned it well?

Well, if I'm able to identify when the nitrogen cycle is going on. Basically, if I'm able to say it fully, or just a summary of it, I think I'll be satisfied with my learning.

3. What do you wonder now about matter cycles?

I wonder about the negative repercussions of either the lack of a specific element, or an abundance of it. Like, what would happen if plants are overexposed to oxygen? Or any other thing.

4. What is the connection between this topic and your AMP project?

If rhinos are all killed, in unnatural ways and their bodies are stolen, their bodies won't be decomposed and they won't help with the nitrogen cycle.

2. Because I understood the cycle in context of the ecosystem and how it actually moves through different organisms like rabbits.

3. I wonder how they act and affect each other.

4. This is connected to my AMP project because it shows me a special part of the ecosystem and gives me a deeper understanding of a very important part of the ecosystem.

2. I wonder how the matter cycles connect with each other

3. How plants and animals provide carbon and how biodiversity keeps telling me that it is very importaint

2. By being able to explain it to a peer.

3. How other cycles such as the phosphorous cycle works.

4. Golf courses are very green and have many trees. It transforms CO2 and makes it into Oxygen.

2. Before starting to draw we research a little bit about the oxygen cycle and the images we found were helpful to understand it.

3. I wonder if all the different cycles each group did connect with each other.

4. This connects with the AMP project because it shows us how the cycle works and without that animal or plant the cycle needs the cycle will not be able to to be completed

2. I will know whether or not I've learned it if I can or can't explain it. If I can visualize and explain how it works, then it means I understand it.

3. I now wonder about how human activity has affected nutrient cycles.

4. This connects to project AMP because nutrient cycles are important components of conserving biodiversity. When we affect them we set off a chain of reactions that affect our environments.

2. If I am ever asked about how carbon cycles through life and I am able to answer candidly, then I will have learned it well.

3. I wonder now if the matter cycles have a pattern, meaning if they all cycle the same manner.

4. Well biodiversity and the complexity of the environment depends on the carbon cycle in the ecosystem since the primary producers require carbon.

2. I'll know if I learned well if i know how to explain it by the basic idea I have of the cycle.

3. I don't know that much about the other cycles. I'd like to know if they are sort of similar to the carbon cycle.

4. My AMP project is about ecosystems with plants and animals. They are made of carbon and contribute to the carbon cycle.

2. To know if I learned it well, I will corroborate my ideas with more evidence found on textbooks and on the internet. I want to make sure that I am learning enough useful stuff and that what I'm actually learning is right.

3. I wonder, how other cycles (like the Phosphorous and Nitrogen) work and differ from the Sulfur Cycle. I wonder which of these have the greatest impact, or which happen more frequently.

4. This connects to my project AMP because it relates to taking care of plants and trees and how elements interact to make our ecosystem survive.

2. By being able to explain it to someone according to what we did in the group work.

3. I wonder if the other cycles need the help of the other cycles to work.

4. Well that the oxygen cycle is required for animals to live and thus enabling any kind of animals endangered or not to continue living.

Today I learned the basics about the Hydrogen Cycle. Hydrogen is

2. I will know if I learned it if I can explain it well to someone who doesn't know about the carbon cycle.

3. I wonder how different elements affect the enviornment differently

4. This is connected to project AMP because it has to do with the different ecosystems we can find.

2.We created a diagram of the hydrogen cycle based on what we learned and I will know if I understood, if I am able to explain it to others.

3. I wonder if for every element there is a different cycle.

4. This connects to my amp project since in my amp project, the plan is to teach the group traveling about the ecosystem and how each

2. I will know if I learned it well if I am able to explain the cycle to other people.

3. I wonder if there is a cycle for all the different elements.

4. The connection between this and my AMP project is that we include biodiversity and how everything is affected by ecology.

2. If I am able to identify the different stages/steps of the nitrogen cycle, and the reason why nitrogen goes through those steps.

3. I wonder about the other cycles the other groups did and their processes.

4. This connects to project AMP because these cycles and processes are an important factor of biodiversity and the conservation of ecosystems.

2. I will know I learn it well if we get a good score for our whiteboard activity today. If Ms. Farooq reviews it and sees that we did get all the process and concepts correctly, I will know that the knowledge I got from this activity is correct.

3. I wonder how they all interact with each other and if any cycles are positively or negatively impacted by other cycles. For example, can the Nitrogen cycle have a negative impact on the phosphorous cycle?

2. How will you know if you've learned it well? 

3. What do you now wonder about matter cycles? 

4. What is the connection between this topic and your AMP Project?

I can confirm my knowledge with different diagrams from the internet or with teacher and classmates.

I wonder how many people are aware of these cycles, and I wonder how important they are, probably very important.

If this cycles are interrupted, they could afect the biodiversity of the planet a lot.

2. I know that i learned it well because I took the information from reliable sources and I know that white soluble while red is not.

3. I wonder how many matter of cycles are there, I belief there are 4 but I wonder about the nutrients and about living tissues in the cycles.

4. Energy and its impact on the environment delays the production of harvested meals, which tells me how some meals are planted etc.
