Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm-up Activity • Put your address in the top right hand corner of your paper. Be as specific as you can

  2. Now lets get more specific: • Include all the parts of your address (as is you were telling a person from another world).

  3. Ecology Principles of Ecology Communities and Biomes Population Biology Biological Diversity & Conversation

  4. Ecology Chapter 2: Principles of Ecology What is Ecology? Abiotic and Biotic Factors

  5. Objectives • TLW be introduced to the field of Ecology. • TLW: Identify key biotic and abiotic factors in the environment.

  6. Vocabulary Focus • Ecology • Biosphere • Ecosystem • Abiotic factors • Biotic Factors

  7. What is Ecology? THE STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AN ORGANISM AND ITS’ ENVIRONMENT

  8. Where are all living things found? On Earth, living things are found in the air, on land, and in both fresh water and salt water.

  9. Biosphere • The part of Earth that supports life • Lithosphere -Top portion of Earth's crust • Hydrosphere - All the waters that cover Earth's surface. • Atmosphere – Portion that surrounds Earth • The biosphere, like the human body, is made up of systems that interact and are dependent on each other.

  10. Ecosystem • The biosphere’s systems are called ECOSYSTEMS. • All the organisms living in an area and the nonliving features of their environment • Biotic – living • Abiotic – nonliving

  11. Biotic factors: all living organisms that inhabit an environment.Like….plants…

  12. And animals…

  13. Abiotic factors are non-living parts of the environment. This includes…water

  14. Light…is abiotic…

  15. Temperature…is abiotic

  16. Air…or wind…is abiotic

  17. Soil….which is made up of…clay…which is important because it helps hold water in soil.

  18. Soil is made up of rocks…little pieces that are broken down by weathering…and

  19. …sand…silt and

  20. Summary • Biotic Factors: • All living things • Abiotic Factors: • non-living things in the environment such as: Water, Light, Air & Wind, Soil, Temperature. • Ecosystem: • the location of specific abiotic and biotic factors. • Ecology: • The study of the relationship between abiotic and biotic factors.

  21. Today’s Assignment • Abiotic and Biotic Factors Venn Diagram activity. • Draw a Venn Diagram in your I-Notebook (left-hand side) • Label one circle Abiotic and one circle Biotic • At your table, categorize the following words as either abiotic or biotic (be sure to write the words in the appropriate circle of your Venn diagram.)

  22. Whale Clock Grapes Paper Glass Plastic Aluminum Air Gold Sand Clouds Wool Corpse Snail Plant Steak Pork Chops Fish Salad Water Bread Hair Pipe Finger Nails Wooden Ruler Cotton Fabric

  23. Characteristics of Living things • At the bottom of your Venn Diagram list the 6 characteristics that all living things have in common…...brainstorm with your table….see if you can come up with all 6 that we discussed last semester.

  24. Characteristics of living things • Adapt and Evolve • Organization • Grow and Develop • Reproduce • Adjust to environment • Respiration

  25. Homework – due tomorrow • Make a list of abiotic and biotic factors in your home. As many as you can see…..Left- hand activity

  26. Ticket out the door • Period 1: • In your own words summarize what makes an object abiotic or biotic.

  27. Ticket out the door • Periods 3, 4, and 5: • Explain the relationship between abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem, and speculate what would happen if one disappeared.

  28. Warm-up Activity • Think about your favorite outdoor spot. In your I-notebook (left hand side) list all the things that you would find there. After you have made your list, categorize each item as abiotic or biotic.

  29. Biological Organization

  30. Objectives • TLW: be able to describe how a population differs from a species. • TLW differentiate among the levels of organization in an ecosystem. • TLW analyze and explain the connections of organisms in an ecosystem.

  31. Vocabulary • Organism • Population • Community • Habitat • Niche • Review word: Species

  32. How are each of these pictures related?

  33. Organism/Species • Organism: an individual living thing. • Species: a classification group for organisms that are closely related and can mate to produce fertile offspring

  34. Population • All the organisms in an ecosystem that belong to the same species (biotic)

  35. Population-many of one kind of species.

  36. Community • All the populations in an ecosystem (biotic)

  37. Community-many different populations together in an ecosystem.

  38. Habitat • The place in which an organism lives • provides the kinds of food and shelter, the temperature, and the amount of moisture the organism needs to survive

  39. The snake’s “habitat” is under a rock! A bird’s habitat is usually a nest. What’s a spider’s habitat?

  40. Niche • A plant's or animal's ecological niche is a way of life that is unique to that species. • How an organism meets its specific needs for food and shelter, how and where it survives, and where it reproduces.

  41. Niche • Niche and habitat are not the same. While many species may share a habitat, this is not true of a niche. • Each plant and animal species is a member of a community, and the niche describes the species' role or function within this community.

  42. Show me what you know • For the following words what would be the level of organization • Example: Students – species/organism • Multiple students- • Students, principal, teacher – • School – • Earth -

  43. Show me what you know • For the following words what would be the level of organization • Example: Students – species/organism • Multiple students- population • Students, principal, teacher – community • School – ecosystem • Earth - biosphere

  44. Today’s In-Class Assignment • Ecology card sort (10 minutes): • Work in groups of 2 • Collect 1 envelope per group • Using the cards match a picture with the word and definition of word. • Create an ecosystem (10 minutes): • Using the following organisms: honeybee, sunflowers, earthworms, red-winged blackbirds, and moles, draw a possible ecosystem. • Label at least three interactions

  45. Warm-up Activity Identify the abiotic and biotic factors in the following picture.

  46. This week at a glance • Monday: • community interactions; summarize section 2.1 notes; complete graphic organizer; 2.1 study guide. • Tuesday: • Energy in an ecosystem; complete graphic organizer, Active reading strategies section 2.2. • Wednesday: • Food chains and food webs; writing assignment; 2.1 study guide due; 2.2 active reading strategy due; study for quiz. • Thursday: • Substitute; 2.1 quiz, worksheet packet due friday • Friday: • Owl Pellet lab activity
