11-7: 3º, 5º11-9: 1º, 2º
Print out the new tabby for your notebook!
Complete the Population Growth POGIL. Using an envelop (you can grab one from class) put this completed POGIL in your notebook.
E2: Carrying Capacity
Objective: Use a model to show how environmental factors limit a population
11-9: 3º11-10: 5º, 1º, 2º
You will be completing a simulation based on carrying capacity of Tuna. Follow the instructions and answer each question in your notebook from the "Simulation Worksheet" using the "Simulation Link".
E3: Invasive Species
Objective: Describe how introducing new species can have drastic environmental effects.
11-14: 3º, 5º11-15: 1º, 2º
Read the Article. Then, complete your drawing in your notebook.
Copy the E3 Notes into your notebook.
Watch the "Invaders" video. As you watch, write down for at least three different organisms:
Why were they introduced?
What what the problem they caused?
What did the Aussies do to fix it?
Did it work?
E4: Plant Populations
Objective: Explain how fires affect the plants found in an ecosystem
11-15: 3º11-16: 5º, 1º, 2º
Read each of the four articles. As you read, fill out the notetaker.
Complete a C.E.R. (claims, evidence, reasoning) paragraph answering the following question: Which plant do you feel would have an ecological advantage after a fire?
