Your task is to respond to the following with a partner:

1. "The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them." ~William Lawrence Bragg Pick up a Diagnostic and get to work. 1. Diagnostic Tests 2. Go over Diagnostic Objective: to see how much you already know HW: Ch. 50 Objectives Keep working ahead if you have time

2. "The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions." ~Claude Lévi-Strauss, Le Cru et le cuit, 1964 1. Return and go over tests 2. Sample Free Responses 3. Water Free Response again 4. Explain Biomes HW Activity Objective: clarify lingering Biochem questions get excited about Ecology HW: Ch. 50 and 51 Objectives

4. Your task is to respond to the following with a partner: Water is essential to all living things. (a) Discuss THREE properties of water. (b) Explain each of the following in terms of the properties of water. You are not limited to the three properties discussed in part (a): • the role of water as a medium for the metabolic processes of cells • the ability of water to moderate temperature within living organisms and in organisms’ environments • the movement of water from the roots to the leaves of plants

6. "To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution to intelligent thinking." - Aldo Leopold 1. Correct water free response 2. Chapter 50 Notes and Activities! Objective: have a good basic understanding of ecology HW: Read Animal Behavior Lab Ch. 51 Objectives RR "Chemistry of Life" Biomes HW due Monday

7. Chapter 50 - An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment Interactions between organisms and the environment limit the distribution of species Abiotic and biotic factors influence the structure and dynamics of aquatic biomes Climate largely determines the distribution and structure of terrestrial biomes

9. Biogeography - study of past and present distribution of individual species, in the context of evolutionary theory - provides a good starting point for understanding geographic distribution of a species Dispersal and Distribution - natural range expansions - species transplants - problems?? Behavior and Habitat Selection Biotic Factors - competition, predation, herbivory, disease, parasites, food resources Abiotic Factors - temperature, water, sunlight, wind, rocks and soil Climate - 4 abiotic factors: temp, water, sunlight, wind - global climate patterns - regional, local and seasonal effects - bodies of water - mountains - seasons - microclimate - long-term climate change
