1. These words are going to feature heavily in todays lesson. What could it be about?

2. Objectives Set up a mesosome. Explore different types of ecosystem. Outcomes 3: Set up a basic mesosome and identify characteristics of different types of ecosystem. 5: Set up a self sustaining mesosome and compare different ecosystems. 7: Set up a self sustaining mesosome. Explain why stable ecosystems in a particular climate are predictable. Key terms: biomes, species, productivity, humidity, precipitation,

3. Task Using the materials available construct a stable mesosome. Key terms: biomes, species, productivity, humidity, precipitation, Outcomes 3: Set up a basic mesosome and identify characteristics of different types of ecosystem. 5: Set up a self sustaining mesosome and compare different ecosystems. 7: Set up a self sustaining mesosome. Explain why stable ecosystems in a particular climate are predictable.

4. A mesosome set up correctly is an example of a closed system. In a closed system energy but not matter is exchanged with the surroundings. Can you think of other examples of closed systems? What do you think an open system would be? Key terms: biomes, species, productivity, humidity, precipitation, Outcomes 3: Set up a basic mesosome and identify characteristics of different types of ecosystem. 5: Set up a self sustaining mesosome and compare different ecosystems. 7: Set up a self sustaining mesosome. Explain why stable ecosystems in a particular climate are predictable.

5. Task Using the map you have been given create a map of the Biome regions on the Earth. Key terms: biomes, species, productivity, humidity, precipitation, Outcomes 3: Set up a basic mesosome and identify characteristics of different types of ecosystem. 5: Set up a self sustaining mesosome and compare different ecosystems. 7: Set up a self sustaining mesosome. Explain why stable ecosystems in a particular climate are predictable.

7. Task For the biome you have been given create a fact sheet. It must include: Climate, productivity, major types of fauna and flora present, issues facing the biome. You will be presenting about your biome. Key terms: biomes, species, productivity, humidity, precipitation, Outcomes 3: Set up a basic mesosome and identify characteristics of different types of ecosystem. 5: Set up a self sustaining mesosome and compare different ecosystems. 7: Set up a self sustaining mesosome. Explain why stable ecosystems in a particular climate are predictable.

8. Task During the presentations add key information about all of the biome types. Key terms: biomes, species, productivity, humidity, precipitation, Outcomes 3: Set up a basic mesosome and identify characteristics of different types of ecosystem. 5: Set up a self sustaining mesosome and compare different ecosystems. 7: Set up a self sustaining mesosome. Explain why stable ecosystems in a particular climate are predictable.

9. Key terms: biomes, species, productivity, humidity, precipitation, 3 things learned 2 achievements 1 way I have improved on a learning power Outcomes 3: Set up a basic mesosome and identify characteristics of different types of ecosystem. 5: Set up a self sustaining mesosome and compare different ecosystems. 7: Set up a self sustaining mesosome. Explain why stable ecosystems in a particular climate are predictable.
