  4. Burmese Pythons in the Everglades • Text Book Example of Invasive Species!

  5. Reminders/Dates • December 1- Science Fair at Hanes (complete projects are due) • Friday- Ecosystem Test (study guide) • MONDAY- Interactive Notebooks due (date change!)

  6. Review Question One Planting legumes in order to add nitrogen to the soil most likely causes • A decrease in the amount of acid rain • An enrichment in the fertility of the soil • An increase in the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in the system • A reduction in the soil’s ability to manufacture its own nitrogen

  7. Answer b. An enrichment in the fertility of the soil

  8. Question Two Organisms who are evolutionarily closer are more likely found at which taxonomic level? • Order • Family • Kingdom

  9. Answer b. family

  10. Question Three Which best explains why Australia has life forms that do not exist anywhere else on earth? • Australia was separated from other landmasses by geological forces • Australia’s climate is very different from those of other continents in the world • Chemicals in Australian soil caused genetic changes in the DNA of the plants an animals • Australia was hit in ancient times by a meteorite, which influenced the evolution of the species

  11. Answer a. Australia was separated from the other landmasses by geological forces
