Daily Objective:
By the end of today I should be able to…
Identify and clarify misunderstandings in chapter 3
Differentiate between weather and climate
Identify factors that influence climate
Entrance Activity:
Grab a test reflection sheet off of the first counter and glue it onto your test reflection page please.

8. Weather and Climate
Weather: day-to-day condition of Earth’s atmosphere.
Climate : average conditions over long periods and is defined by year-after-year patterns of temperature and precipitation.
Microclimates: mini changes within a climate
Example: Northern Hemisphere, south-facing sides of trees and buildings receive more sunlight, and are often warmer and drier, than north-facing sides. These differences can be very important to many organisms.

9. Describe the greenhouse effect

Daily Objective:
By the end of today I should be able to…
Describe the greenhouse effect
Entrance Activity:
Open your book to page 97.
Copy/draw figure 4-1 in your notes. (it should take up a 1/4 of a page)

10. Factors That Affect Climate
solar energy trapped in the biosphere
Latitude
transport of heat by winds and ocean currents

11. Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect
The main force that shapes our climate is solar energy that arrives as sunlight that strikes Earth’s surface.
Some of that energy is reflected back into space, and some is absorbed and converted into heat.

13. Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect
Some of the heat also radiates back into space, and some is trapped in the biosphere.
The balance between heat that stays in the biosphere and heat lost to space determines Earth’s average temperature.

14. Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect
Earth’s temperature is largely controlled by concentrations of three atmospheric gases—carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
These “greenhouse gases” function like glass in a greenhouse, allowing visible light to enter but trapping heat through a phenomenon called the greenhouse effect.

16. Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect
If greenhouse gas concentrations rise, they trap more heat, so Earth warms. If their concentrations fall, more heat escapes, and Earth cools.
Without the greenhouse effect, Earth would be about 30°C cooler than it is today.

17. Latitude and Solar Energy

18. Do warmer particles sink or float? Why?

19. Heat Transport in the Biosphere
Air that is heated by warm areas of Earth’s surface—such as near the equator—rises, expands, and spreads north and south, losing heat along the way.
As the warm air cools, it sinks.

20. Heat Transport in the Biosphere
The unequal distribution of heat across the globe creates wind and ocean currents, which transport heat and moisture.
Earth has winds because warm air is less dense and rises, and cool air is more dense and sinks.

21. Heat Transport in the Biosphere
In cooler regions, near the poles, chilled air sinks toward Earth’s surface, pushing air at the surface outward.
This air warms as it travels over the surface and rises.

22. Heat Transport in the Biosphere
These upward and downward movements of air create winds.
Winds transport heat from regions of rising warmer air to regions of sinking cooler air.
Earth’s rotation causes winds to blow generally from west to east over the temperate zones and from east to west over the tropics and the poles.

23. Heat Transport in the Biosphere
Similar patterns of heating and cooling occur in the oceans.
Surface water is pushed by winds.
Ocean currents, like air currents, transport enormous amounts of heat.

24. Heat Transport in the Biosphere
Warm surface currents add moisture and heat to air that passes over them.
Cool surface currents cool air that passes over them.
In this way, surface currents affect the weather and climate of nearby landmasses.

25. Heat Transport in the Biosphere
Deep ocean currents are caused by cold water near the poles sinking and flowing along the ocean floor.
This water rises in warmer regions through a process called upwelling.

26. Describe the role of competition plays in shaping communities
Friday, October 10th , 2014
___________________________________________
Daily Objective:
By the end of today I should be able to…
Define a niche
Describe the role of competition plays in shaping communities
Entrance Activity:
Please, write a score about how well you feel that you meet each of today’s objectives RIGHT NOW.
Rate yourself 1-5, 1 being you have absolutely no idea, 5 being you know it well enough to teach it to others.

27. TOLERANCE!! Where does it live?
Organisms occupy different places because each species has a range of conditions under which it can grow and reproduce

28. What happens when an organism is pushed outside of its tolerance?
STRESS
CAN’T MAKE BABIES
DEATH

29. Tolerance determines HABITAT
Habitat is an organism’s address

30. NICHE
Range of physical and Biological conditions in which a species lives and the way the species obtains what it needs to survive and reproduce

31. Resources
Examples
Physical aspects
Biological aspects
Niche includes:

32. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HABITAT AND NICHE?
