Week Sept. 23 – Sept. 30
Environmental Science (S)
Monday - 09/26
Objective – T LWBAT list the sections of the Earth biosphere
Ess. Question: What are some of the types of biosphere Earth?
SC standards – (B-6.1) Explain how the interrelationships among organisms (including
predation, competition, parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism) generate
stability within ecosystems.
(B-6.2) Explain how populations are affected by limiting factors (including densitydependent, density-independent, abiotic, and biotic factors).
(B-6.3) Illustrate the processes of succession in ecosystems.
(B-6.4) Exemplify the role of organisms in the geochemical cycles (including the cycles
of carbon, nitrogen, and water).
(B-6.5) Explain how ecosystems maintain themselves through naturally occurring
processes (including maintaining the quality of the atmosphere, generating soils,
controlling the hydrologic cycle, disposing of wastes, and recycling nutrients).
Homework – Complete the classwork handout
