DO NOWDate:03/9
What is one difference between primary succession and secondary succession?
What is one similarity?
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:How does biodiversity lead to a stable ecosystem?
OBJECTIVES:-Observe the factors within a micro-habitat-Define population, community, and ecosystem
Microhabitat:a specific, small-scale environment in which organisms live.
MICROHABITAT
MICROHABITAT
-Look for a organisms under rocks or other hidden places. Make sure you are gentle and RETURN rocks to original spot.
-Using your student sheet, you will draw different BIOTIC and ABIOTIC parts of the micro-habitat that is the courtyard.
Courtyard Expectations
• Level 0 in hallway• No more than a level 2 voice in courtyard. • Classes are in session around us. Do not
disturb them.• Stay in 1 place and focus on the tiny details
of the microhabitat!
HABITAT DEBRIEF
• Which species stay in the micro-habitat of the courtyard?
• Which species enjoy a larger habitat than just the courtyard?
What if?
Turn and talk
What might happen to the microhabitat (courtyard) if the population of raccoons were to increase on the O. Henry campus?
Definition
• Fill in the following definition for HABITAT on your student sheet:
HABITAT:A particular type of environment regarded as a
home for organisms.
Levels of Organization
• Label the levels of organization on your sheet
DEFINITIONS
With your table group, come up with your own definition of the following….
Population
Community
Ecosystem
POPULATION
• a group of organisms of the same species living in a specific area
COMMUNITY
• A group of organisms from different species living in the same place and interacting with each other.
ECOSYSTEM
• The interaction between organisms and their physical environment.
DO NOWDate:3/10
Reminder:-Write the question(s)-Write in complete sentences
What is the difference between a community and a population?
What is the very top level of our biological levels of organization?
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:How does biodiversity lead to a stable ecosystem?
OBJECTIVES:-Observe how organisms benefit each other-Explore symbiotic relationships and how they relate to adaptations
VIDEO
• TED ED - Symbiosis
THINK
Review• For multiple choice questions, answer
individually on your dry erase board.
• For open-ended questions, turn and talk to your partner to come up with an answer
• Be prepared to share.
Symbiotic Relationship example
Creative InterpretationIn your notebook on page_____, pick one:
1. Describe a symbiotic relationship between two or three organisms.
• The relationship can exist, or you can make it up (including the organisms)
• Must be at least one page.
2. Draw a detailed diagram that represents a real or fictional symbiotic relationship.
• Must be in color• Must be labeled in detail
DO NOWDate:3/11 & 12
What is a symbiotic relationship? Give an example.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION:How does biodiversity lead to a stable ecosystem?
OBJECTIVES:-Create succession plots-Explore biodiversity and how it relates to biomes
Succession PlotDrawing Abiotic/Biotic Factors
Predictions: What will you observe a week from now?
Week 1:
Week 2:
1000 Year prediction:
KEY:Primary Succession Secondary Succession
Succession Plot
• We will go outside and scrape out all of the plant life from 1 square foot of soil.
• You will draw the plot with pencil.• You will record any biotic or abiotic factors you
observe in the plot.• You will predict what it will look like in one
week.
Outside Expectations
• Level 0 in hallway• No more than a level 2 voice outside. • Classes are in session near us. Do not disturb
them.• Stay in 1 place and focus on the tiny details
of the succession plot!
BIODIVERSITY IQ TEST
Lets see how much you already know about organisms!
Answer the questions on your sheet.
Planet Earth Biomes
As we watch the videos, fill out the information on your sheet.
Biomes
• Polar Ice• Tundra• Taiga (29:00)• Deciduous Forest• Savannah• Desert• Rainforest
Turn and Talk
• Compare your notes with those of your shoulder partner.
• Discuss whether you would like to visit that Biome and why or why not.
Biome Research
• Shoulder partners• One laptop per pair• Fill out the following chart in your notebook…
Biome Research Page
BIOME NAME:___________________5 Species of animals that live there (Insects included)
3 Species of plants that live there
Climate(Temperatures, precipitation)
Geography(What is the land like?)
