What is Biodiversity? Rich mixture of plants, animals, and living things Creates stable balanced ecosystem that is strong in harsh times We are part of an ecosystem nccecojustice.org

Which has Biodiversity? archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com slog.thestranger.com franslanting.photoshelter.com www.savenature.org

Major Parts of an Ecosystem Producers plants Consumers Primary Secondary Decomposers Return nutrients back to the soil www.arthursclipart.org www.exploringnature.org Help them understand that these are groups by grouping them. We are also part of an ecosystem idahoptv.org www.sheppardsoftware.com

Food Web Example Video: http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/animals/foodchain/ Which is the producer primary and secondary consumers? Everything is connected

Yarn Game www.bigelow.org www.pride2.org www.sheppardsoftware.com First do a food chain then food web. What happens if one person pull on the string? What happens if one person leaves the circle? Cut the string? Everything is connected www.bigelow.org www.pride2.org

Extinction What are some causes? Video http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/conservation/extinctandendangeredspecies/ What are some causes? Natural Human Pollution Destruction of habitats Why is this bad? We rely on our environment: Clean air and water Raw materials New medicines and discoveries Cutting forest, building cities, pollution the environment, litering

Our Dependence on Biodiversity

Importance of Biodiversity Ecosystem stability Strengthens environments against erosion and natural disasters Strengthens food webs Nutrient and energy cycling Useful source of goods and services for us
