is and how it might be measured in the field, know specifics of DDT effects and uses
Biozone Pages
p. 45-46 The Carbon Cycle
p. 41-42 Energy Flow in an Ecosystem
p. 43-44 Ecological Pyramids
Other notes: You may use your “Command terms” IB sheets during the
test, because I will use these words to phrase the test questions. The
words will be in bold. Be sure that you can apply your lab experiences
from the food chain explorelearning.com lab, the ecological pyramids lab,
and the explorelearning.com snail/elodea lab
