E N D
Time • 3 x 90 min sessions • Plus field work
Classification – taxonomy, keys • Ecosystem services, migration, mitosis • Extinction, evolution, convergent & divergent evolution
Materials & Methods • Iron fasteners – nuts, bolts, screws, cotter pins, washers • Like above, except brass, Al, nylon, stainless steel • 12 cm x 12 cm plywood sheet, drilled hole • 12 cm x 12 cm metal sheet, drilled hole • Magnets
If running chromatography • Solvents for extraction • Running media
Discuss features for classification • Discuss convergent evolution
Exercise • Fasten the sheets
Mix groups • Try fastening exercise
Discuss • Ecosystem services • Migration • Symbiosis • Adaptation
Redistribute hardware • Group A: Mix of all • Group B: Mix of all except no stainless steel nuts
Biodiversity loss • Loss of ecological services • Extinction
Field Work • Backyard biodiversity • Collect leaves • Labeling • Classification • Check classification scheme against master list • Can be done with macroinvertebartes
Molecular Taxonomy • Chlorophyll chromatography
Discussion • Backyard biodiversity • Issues of classification/taxonomy – selection of features • Biodiversity & ecosystem services
Feedback • Needed lecture on the hardware
Biodiversity - dynamic • Seasonal changes • Diurnal changes
Ties in with • Appearances Are Deceiving • Used extensively in Puerto Rico field trip • Worksheets 2 & 3
Problems • Seasky website ???
Thoughts • Assign an article or two on • Classification • Biodiversity (species, taxonomic, ecosystem, genetic)
