Presentations Projects 1. Biotic and Abiotic Factors. What are the biotic and abiotic factors? What would happen if one of the factors that you mention were changed? Give examples. Carrying Capacity/Limiting Factors explain both. What factors affect the growth/size of a population? 2. Photosynthesis and Respiration. Explain and illustrate both. 3. Food Webs and Food Chains – include producers, consumers, herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Give an example of both a food chain and a food web and explain what would happen if you took one thing out of your food web/chain. What happens to energy as you move through a food chain? 4. Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem – show an example of this. Habitats and Niches. Explain the difference and give plenty of examples of each. What are the conditions of an ecosystem? What does it take to be classified as an ecosystem? 5. Symbiosis – parasitism, mutualism, commensalism. What is the difference and give examples. Invasive species are parasitic- give examples, where did they come from? What problems do invasive species cause? What can be done to fix the problem? 6. Biodiversity – why/how is there such a great biodiversity on our planet? Why is biodiversity important? What threatens the biodiversity of our planet? 7. What causes mutations and give examples. Good (adaptations), bad, and neutral. How is natural selection related to adaptations? What did Darwin discover about natural selection? Explain how a once beneficial adaptation could become a harmful mutation if the environment were to change. 8. Fossil Record – what do fossils tell us about our past environment and species that have lived in the past. Extinct/Endangered- what factors have caused animals/plants to be extinct. What are some examples of animals/plants that are currently on the endangered species list. What is causing these organism to be endangered. What can be done to save these organisms. 9. Innate and Learned behaviors- explain the difference and give examples such as hibernation, migration, etc.. 10. Human Impact – how have humans negatively impacted the environment? What can be done to fix the problems? What are the main sources of pollution? 11. Heredity – Phenotype, Genotype, Punnet Squares . The difference between sexual and asexual reproduction. What types of organisms reproduce asexually? 12. Parts of a cell/Cell theory , Tissue, Organ, Organ System – explain and give an example. Give 3 examples of specialized cells. 13. Phases of Matter – how do the particles in solids, liquids, and gases differ, what has to happen for each phase to change? What is matter? Physical/Chemical Change – explain the difference and give examples of each. What factors influence the rate of a chemical reaction? 14. Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures, Periodic Table, real life uses for elements and compounds, and certain chemicals. 15. Chemical Properties/Physical Properties, be sure to include solubility, mass, volume, and density. How is density calculated? 16. Conservation of Matter – balancing chemical equations, Reactants and Products in a Chemical Reaction Endothermic/Exothermic Reactions Chemical Formula 17. Motion – explain velocity, speed, acceleration, Force, Newton’s Laws, Net force, Balanced/Unbalanced Forces, Gravity, Friction, Graphing Motion 18. Sun’s energy – explain how and why the sun’s energy is responsible for the water cycle, climate(why is it warmer at the equator), seasons, and the carbon cycle 19. Renewable and Nonrenewable energy resources. 20. Atmosphere –layers and composition Air Pressure and Altitude. Weather – what causes weather, how is weather forecasted? What are the weather symbols on a weather map and what do they stand for? 21. Global warming and the greenhouse effect. Explain what they are and how they are related 22. Layers of the earth. Formation of the Earth. 23. Types of Rocks and the Rock cycle. 24. Plate Tectonics – which way do plates move and what is caused when these plates move? What are the different types of plate movement? Convergent, Divergent, Transform faults. What is the difference between a fold a fault? 25. Earthquakes – what causes earthquakes? San Andreas vs. New Madrid faults. Earthquakes in KY, Volcanoes. 26. What is the difference between constructive and deconstructive forces, what do they cause? How is water both constructive and destructive? What is the difference between weathering and erosion. How do weathering and erosion help to shape the landscape? 27. Landforms – name some various landforms and explain how these landforms are created. Some examples could include canyons, arches, hoo doos , valleys, islands, hills, sinkholes, etc. Mountains – how can you tell that the Rockies are younger? 28. Silt, Sand, and Pebbles - put in order from largest particle to smallest particle. Soil – what is humus? What are soil horizons? What makes soil? Explain the “Dust Bowl”. 29. Glaciers – what are they? How have glaciers helped to shape the landscape? 30. Solar system, moon phases, eclipses, day, month, year – rotation in the solar system.
