Exploring Ecosystems: Interactive Presentation Challenge for Biology Unit 2

Dive into the fascinating world of ecosystems with our interactive project! Create an engaging PowerPoint presentation or poster that showcases your understanding of crucial concepts such as ecosystems, adaptations, trophic levels, and environmental cycles. Use images, labeling, and hyperlinks to illustrate your knowledge effectively. This project serves as an essential revision tool for your exam preparation. Explore relationships within communities and the significance of ecological niches. Get creative and demonstrate how various adaptations impact survival within ecosystems!

  1. VCE BiologyUnit 2Ecosystems

  2. Your Challenge(Final SAC – Yahoo!) • Create an interactive power point presentation or • Create an interactive poster (e.g lift the flap, pull outs, pop up etc.,) • Which illustrate/explain your understanding of ALL the following concepts on a single page which link to other pages/ illustrations/text • Use images / labelling/ text / hyper linking • These concepts will all appear on the exam so consider this a useful revision exercise and tool!

  3. The concepts Ecosystem Adaptations Trophic levels Cycles Relationships VERY useful general web links Communities

  4. Ecosystem • Ecosystem • Habitat • Ecological niche • Competition • Abiotic factors • Biotic factors • Bioaccumulation • Bioaccumulation and some examples

  5. Trophic levels • Heterotrophs • Autotrophs • Carnivore • Omnivore • Herbivore • Decomposers • Producer • First order consumer (Primary Consumer) • Second Order consumer (Secondary Consumer) • Third order consumer (Tertiary Consumer)

  6. Relationships • Symbiosis • Mutualism • Commensalism • Parasitism • Host • Predator / prey • Food chain • Food chain and energy transfer • Food Web • Energy transfer and loss • Energy transfer and loss

  7. Communities • Population • Population dynamics • Succession • Carrying capacity • Pyramid of biomass • Pyramid of numbers

  8. Cycles • Organic matter cycle • Nitrogen Cycle Carbon Cycle Nitrogen Cycle

  9. Carbon Cycle • How does this work? • Why is the concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere increasing?

  10. Adaptations • Explain how a reproductive strategy can increase the chance of survival of an organism and this in turn can impact on an ecosystem • Explain how a behavioural adaptation of one of your organisms increases its chance of survival in your ecosystem • Explain how a structural adaptation of one of your chosen organisms can increase the chance of survival of an organism and this in turn can impact on an ecosystem • Links – Plant adaptations/structures

  11. Nitrogen Cycle • What is it? • Why do plants need nitrogen? • Why is nitrogen important?
