ECOLOGY
Purpose: 1. Introduce basic ecological concepts and terms 2. Investigate ecosystems through hands on observations and experimentation. 3. To design and carry out an experiment on the effect of variables on the balance of ecosystems. 4. To apply the central theme of systems and interactions to ecology and the implications of change within those systems. Essential Concepts/Knowledge: 1. How scientists conduct fieldwork 2. How biotic and abiotic factors interact 3. How variables affect an experimental outcome and therefore the conclusion. 4. How ecosystems and the organisms in them are linked biologically, chemically and physically. * Biochemical cycles * Food chains & webs * Energy pyramids 5. How ecosystems change over time (i.e. succession) 6. How organisms are adapted to survive within their environments. 7. What has been the impact of human and other activities on the balance, biodiversity and changes within ecosystems. 8. How various factors affect population dynamics.

You should now be able to: ___1. Apply/define/compare basic ecological terms/concepts. ___2. Diagram food chains/webs. ___3. Correlate population cycles and growth patterns to limiting factors. ___4. Discuss interrelationships within ecosystems. ___5. Fill in the pyramid of energy and apply the 10% rule. ___6. Describe various world biomes. ___7. List the characteristics of populations. ___8. Interpret population graphs and give reasons for different patterns. ___9. Trace biogeochemical cycles. __10. Explain the different method species have developed to adapt to a changing environment. __11. Discuss the ways in which humans have impacted the environment. __12. Give methods of conservation. __13. Discuss the implications of the loss of biodiversity. __14. Give pros and cons of different energy resources. __15. Trace primary vs secondary succession in an ecosystem. __16. Use field techniques in ecological investigations: gather and record data, construct transects/quadrats; use sampling techniques, map an area, use a field guide, use a variety of compiled data analyze an ecosystem
