Six Weeks Review We Need To PASS!!!!
Test Points • Lab Safety, Procedures, Equipment • Scientific Method • Ecology • Levels of Organization • Biomes • Ecological Succession • Symbiosis • Energy Transfer
Cornell Notes for Review • Observation • Observation: gathering of information by using our five senses: Sight Smell Hearing Taste Touch There are two types of observations Qualitative Quantitative • Examples: • Grass is wet • School alarm went off • Inference • Inference: help explain those observations based on prior experience • Grass is wet= infer it rain or the yard was watered or dew on the grass • School alarm:
Observe and Infer • DRY MIX-Identify where the Independent Variable and Dependent Variable go on the graph • Which one is the Manipulated and Responding
Scientific Method • Ask a Question • Research • Formulate a Hypothesis • Hypothesis: If, and then Format. Must be testable • Test • Analyze results • Draw a Conclusion: Hypothesis accepted and rejected • Report Results
SM Application • A biologist thinks that trees treated with fertilizer I will produce more apples than those treated with fertilizer II. The biologist uses fertilizer I on a group of 10 red delicious apples tree and fertilizer II on a group of 10 red delicious apples trees. In this study the biologist also makes sure that he has a group of 10 red delicious trees that are not treated with any of the fertilizers. All of the trees in each group are treated with an equal amount of fertilizer. At the end of apple growing season, the biologist has a final count of apples for each group of trees used in the study; this is what was recorded:
Ecology • Know these terms • Niche-organisms way of life • Habitat-where they live • Abiotic-non living ex. Air, temp, rock, soil • Biotic-living ex. Plants and animals • Levels of Organization • Organism Population Community Ecosystem Biosphere
