  1. Ecosystem notes

  2. Bell ringer • P. 618 B “Target your reading” • 1-9 please write A if you agree with the statements and D if you do not agree with the statements

  3. 8/21/09 Bellringer--Ecosystem– vocab visuals – p. 731 glossaryWrite all book definitions first before drawing pictures

  4. Bellringer--Ecosystem– vocab visuals – p. 731 glossaryWrite all book definitions first before drawing pictures Word Book definition Biotic factor living parts of an ecosystem Abiotic factor nonliving parts of an ecosystem Biosphere part of Earth that supports life, including the top portion of Earth’s crust, the atmosphere, and all the water on Earth’s surface Ecology study of the interactions that take place among organisms and their environment Ecosystem all the living organisms in an area, as well as the nonliving parts of their environment; community of organisms that interact with each other

  5. biotic • Living parts of the ecosystem • Also, those things that were once living • Plants, animals, bacteria

  6. Abiotic • nonliving parts of the ecosystem • Sunlight, water, temperature, soil, air • “A” means “not”

  7. “What’s in the scene?”Abiotic vs. Biotic Make two columns and label one “abiotic” and the other one “biotic” Examine the picture and write in each column as many abiotic and biotic factors as you can find

  8. Bellringer On the coral reef ecosystem figure shown, which factor is biotic? a. rocks c. sea horse b. sand d. water On the coral reef ecosystem figure shown, which factor is abiotic? a. algae c. rock b. sharks d. sponges

  9. Bell ringer • An aquarium of turtles can be considered a small ecosystem. Which of the following is an example of how the turtles could interact with an abiotic part of the aquarium ecosystem? • A. turtles eat insects you place in the aquarium • B. turtles fight each other for food • C. turtles move onto rocks heated by sunlight • D. turtles pull into their shells when you startle • them

  10. Abiotic and biotic factors Divide into groups Make two lists on a piece of paper at the top abiotic and biotic Go outside and find as many abiotic factors and biotic factors and write on the list

  11. Abiotic vs. biotic factors Draw a line to divide the poster in half and label one side biotic and the other side abiotic Cut out magazine pictures or make drawings to list different abiotic and biotic factors

  12. ecosystem • Can be very small such as a pile of leaves or large such as the biosphere

  13. Biosphere • Consists of all the land and water on earth as well as the atmosphere • Largest ecosystem on earth

  14. Ecosystems – vocab visuals – p. 731 glossary

  15. niche • The role of an organism in its ecosystem • What niche can a rotting log play in an ecosystem?

  16. Limiting factors • Anything that can restrict the size of a populaiton, including living and nonliving features of an ecosystem, such as predators or drought

  17. Limiting factor activity • Bear habitat activity

  18. Limiting factor activity • Bird activity with clips, beans, corn kernels, marbles

  19. Bell ringer • In a meadow ecosystem, hawks feed mostly on mice. When the mice population is small, there is less food for hawks, so the hawk population becomes smaller. When the mice population becomes smaller. When the mice population grows. The number of hawks also grows. For the hawk population, the number of mice in this meadow is an example of a • A. Niche • B. Habitat • C. Producer • D. Limiting factor

  20. Community and population • community- all the populations that live in an ecosystem • Population-a group of the same type of organisms living in the same place at the same time

  21. population • What kind of populations will you find in a forest ecosystem?

  22. Population • Brain pop movie clip: “Population growth” • http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0078778069/160350/00050757.html • http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0078778069/student_view0/brainpop_movies.html#

  23. Bell ringer What was the approximate population density of the prey population in April and May? A) 8 B) 12 C) 10 D) 14 3 In which month was the prey population the lowest? A) April B) November C) February D) December

  24. bell ringer • During which season did the rose insect population grow the fastest? • A) spring B) summer C) fall D) winter

  25. Ecosystem video • http://player.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm?guidAssetId=0B666D65-13A0-46AD-9914-4C7BA106DA46&blnFromSearch=1&productcode=US • Biology: The Science of Life: Ecology: Organisms in Their Environment

  26. Ecosystems video • Brain pop video on “ecosystems’” • http://www.brainpop.com/science/ecologyandbehavior/ecosystems/ • Video discusses ecosystems, habitats, communities, populations

  27. Ecosystems- vocab visuals– glossary p. 731

  28. Ecosystem video • Give 3 examples of decomposers, producers, and consumers in the video

  29. Virtual lab-food chain • Text virtual lab • http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0078778069/student_view0/unit6/chapter21/virtual_lab.html Match organisms to their role in a food chain / web

  30. Food web • Overlapping food chains in an ecosystem • Remove one organism- the consumers that eat the removed organism will decrease, the organism that is eaten by the removed organism will increase

  31. Food web http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/foodchain/

  32. Food web • Example: • Grass mice snake hawk Analyze the food chain above and describe what would happen if you removed one organism

  33. Food web • Human food web activity in folder

  34. Bell ringer To complete food chain 1 in the figure shown, you would draw an arrow from _____ to Plant. • a. Dead Bird c. Insect • b. Hawk d. Sunlight To complete food chain 2 in the figure shown, you would draw an arrow from _____ sunlight to Hawk. • a. Bacteria c. Plant • b. Dead Bird d. Snake

  35. Bell ringer • To complete food chain 3 in the figure shown, you would draw an arrow from Bird to _____. • a. Bacteria c. Hawk • b. Dead Plant d. Sunlight

  36. In this ocean food web, which animal does not eat krill? a. fish c. squid b. plankton d. whales • In this ocean food web, which animal do whales eat? • krill c. penguins • Orcas d. squid

  37. List the first-level consumer. List the second-level consumers. List the third-level consumers.

  38. Symbiosis • P. 45 Ecology chapter resources • Chart with 3 mc questions • Mutualism- both organisms benefit • Commensalism-one organism benefits, the other is not harmed nor helped • Parasitism-one organism benefits, the other is harmed

  39. web quest • http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0078778069/student_view0/unit6/webquest_projects.html • “Barrier islands: To build or not to build” • Students research to write a letter to the editor supporting or against barrier island development
