Ecology Unit 1

Go get a computer Today we will take the Biology pre-test. Your grade is a participation grade. After the test we will begin the new unit of Biological studies – Ecology.

Biology Pretest Go to Google classroom Choose Biology pretest Click on the Pretest and take the test. When you are done go to my.ccsd.net and open Ecology Unit 1.

In pg. 24 Describe what you see in this picture. What things are living in this picture? What things are not living in this picture but affect the things that are living? Go Get a Computer before you sit down and start on your in Question.

Do it Now pg. 24 How and do nonliving things affect living things? Are these relationships good, bad or both – explain.

Thru 2 Pg. 26 & 27 Go to the following address: Write questions on pg. 26 Answer on page 27. https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/ecology/population-growth-and-regulation/v/exponential-and-logistic-growth-in-populations What is the % at which the populations of rabbits grow each month? What is the rabbit population at month 0? What is the multiplier for a 10% per month population growth rate? What do we multiply by now for each additional month, what does the new equation look like? What variable represents months? What is population a function of? What is the variable used for population? What does (n) represent? What is the equation used to figure population growth? How is the growth rate figured for 10 years? How many rabbits would we have in 10 years? How is this graphed? What kind of growth is this called? What is a better model for growth? What did you like most about the video?

Do it Again pg. 24 Give two examples of an abiotic factor Give two examples of a biotic factor

Out Pg. 24 What is the formula for exponential growth rate? How many rabbits would exist in a population if the initial population was 50 rabbits and it grew at 20% per month after 5 months of growth – write out the formula then under the formula replace the letters with numbers next under that calculate the answer.

Week #5 This part of the power point will be for week #5

In pg. 28 Ozone, moon and stars are examples of things that are living or non living? Nonliving things that influence living things in an ecosystem are called?

Do it now pg. 28 Insects, bacteria and fungus are examples of things that are living or nonliving? Things that are living in a ecosystem are called?
