Bloggers,
Think about what you have learned throughout our water unit in science. Reflect on the many ways water is so important to us. Please read the article, Saving the Great Lakes. As you read, consider what would happen without water. Then, watch the video, Freshwater Habitats. Think now about the importance of having a healthy freshwater system. Claim: Make a claim about the Great Lakes based on the article and video you watched. Evidence: Refer back to the article and the video to support your claim with PROOF!! Make sure to cite your thinking. Reasoning: How does this water problem affect us in Michigan?

our rivers lakes and ponds are in big danger by algae us and other land destroyers. it is our job to keep some to us ans some to mother nature. or the most brilliant way is to share with mother nature because it can make things a whole lot easier if algae takes over our worlds water we got to find a way to make algae exist ink this really effects us because we need water to live and not only us but the entire world. my statement is to throw away your trash in the garbage that will stop at least i hope that well get that algae out!

the article said that many types of algae are toxic if you pour chemicals on them. so if the animals eat the algae, they might die!

My claim is all ways help nature and not litter in the water or other creatures that live in the lake will not be there for people to enjoy. My evidence is something called algae and toxic are poisonous and they affect the lakes and it's not safe. My reasoning is this lake affects us by traveling through all the other lakes and coming to lake Michigan so we don't want that to happen so that why we all ways have to clean up our lakes so nothing bad can happen to the lakes.

My claim is that we need to help the great lakes. my evidence is that there is algae all over the lakes! ( the article said that) And that the movie"freshwater habitats" said that if a thing does not belong somewhere, it does not not belong there. it is effecting us because we are very near the ocean. imagine if a bunch of algae dumps on our heads!

claim: the great lakes are in DANGER! my evidence is that stuff called algae gets in to the lakes. it comes from people who use fertilizers that gets in to the lake by the rain. the algae polluts the water and it is poisonous for us to drink so we should take care of our lakes!!!!!!!

CLAIM:Lake Erie's fresh water (and other fresh water lakes) are getting destroyed!this is bad for the environment. EVIDENCE: in the brain pop Jr. video it says,"there is only 1% of fresh water in the whole world."Also, in the article big problems for the great lakes, it says,"In August, Lake Erie's water was polluted by a toxic, plantlike growth called algae. REASONING : people who live by Lake Erie would not get fish or near by water.

My claim is we need to help the great lakes.My evidence is in the Fresh Water Habitats video it said animals are becoming endangerd.Another evidence is in a caption algae can be a serious danger for wild life.My reasoning is this affects MI.by we are going to have less drinking water and the people that have to clean the salt water are going to loose there jobs.

In the video "freshwater habitats", it says only 1% of the earth is freshwater with only a little salt in it. This shows we need to take care of water because if we don't we will run out of all our freshwater.
