Tuesday, October 7th , 2014 ___________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… •Identify and clarify misunderstandings in chapter 3 •Create an organized outline Entrance Activity: •Have out your notebook •Make sure that you have out your pyramids and they are affixed into your notebook (use my supplies) •Have out a writing utensil NB check Honesty Absent Verification 20 ish minutes. Create a section of your notebook labeled Test reflection Leave it as an entire page On one part of it, write down how you feel about the exam you took yesterday (just to capture) I. BIG TOPIC A. Sub topic of topic I. 1. detail about A 2. detail about A B. Sub topic of topic I II. BIG TOPIC 2 Wednesday, October 8th , 2014 ___________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… •Identify and clarify misunderstandings in chapter 3 •Differentiate between weather and climate •Identify factors that influence climate Entrance Activity: •Grab a test reflection sheet off of the first counter and glue it onto your test reflection page please. Weather and Climate Weather: day-to-day condition of Earth’s atmosphere. Climate : average conditions over long periods and is defined by year-after-year patterns of temperature and precipitation. Microclimates: mini changes within a climate Example: Northern Hemisphere, south-facing sides of trees and buildings receive more sunlight, and are often warmer and drier, than north-facing sides. These differences can be very important to many organisms. Thursday, October 9th , 2014 ___________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… •Describe the greenhouse effect Entrance Activity: •Open your book to page 97. •Copy/draw figure 4-1 in your notes. (it should take up a 1/4 of a page) Factors That Affect Climate solar energy trapped in the biosphere Latitude transport of heat by winds and ocean currents Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect O The main force that shapes our climate is solar energy that arrives as sunlight that strikes Earth’s surface. O Some of that energy is reflected back into space, and some is absorbed and converted into heat. Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect – Some of the heat also radiates back into space, and some is trapped in the biosphere. – The balance between heat that stays in the biosphere and heat lost to space determines Earth’s average temperature. Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect – Earth’s temperature is largely controlled by concentrations of three atmospheric gases— carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. – These “greenhouse gases” function like glass in a greenhouse, allowing visible light to enter but trapping heat through a phenomenon called the greenhouse effect. Solar Energy and the Greenhouse Effect – If greenhouse gas concentrations rise, they trap more heat, so Earth warms. If their concentrations fall, more heat escapes, and Earth cools. – Without the greenhouse effect, Earth would be about 30°C cooler than it is today. Latitude and Solar Energy • Do warmer particles sink or float? Why? • Air that is heated by warm areas of Earth’s surface—such as near the equator—rises, expands, and spreads north and south, losing heat along the way. • As the warm air cools, it sinks. • The unequal distribution of heat across the globe creates wind and ocean currents, which transport heat and moisture. • Earth has winds because warm air is less dense and rises, and cool air is more dense and sinks. • In cooler regions, near the poles, chilled air sinks toward Earth’s surface, pushing air at the surface outward. • This air warms as it travels over the surface and rises. • These upward and downward movements of air create winds. • Winds transport heat from regions of rising warmer air to regions of sinking cooler air. • Earth’s rotation causes winds to blow generally from west to east over the temperate zones and from east to west over the tropics and the poles. • • • Similar patterns of heating and cooling occur in the oceans. Surface water is pushed by winds. Ocean currents, like air currents, transport enormous amounts of heat. • Warm surface currents add moisture and heat to air that passes over them. • Cool surface currents cool air that passes over them. • In this way, surface currents affect the weather and climate of nearby landmasses. • Deep ocean currents are caused by cold water near the poles sinking and flowing along the ocean floor. • This water rises in warmer regions through a process called upwelling. Friday, October 10th , 2014 ___________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… •Define a niche •Describe the role of competition plays in shaping communities Entrance Activity: •Please, write a score about how well you feel that you meet each of today’s objectives RIGHT NOW. Rate yourself 1-5, 1 being you have absolutely no idea, 5 being you know it well enough to teach it to others. TOLERANCE!! Organisms occupy different places because each species has a range of conditions under which it can grow and reproduce What happens when an organism is pushed outside of its tolerance? DEATH Habitat is an organism’s address NICHE WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HABITAT AND NICHE? Keystone Species A single species that can cause dramatic changes in the structure of a community The sea otter is another example of a keystone species in the Pacific Northwest. These mammals feed on sea urchins, controlling their population. If the otters didn't eat the urchins, the urchins would eat up the habitat's kelp. Kelp, or giant seaweed, is a major source of food and shelter for the ecosystem. Some species of crabs, snails, and geese depend on kelp for food. Many types of fish use the huge kelp forests to hide from predators. Without sea otters to control the urchin population, the entire ecosystem would collapse. PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO EACH POPULATION Monday, October 14th , 2013 ___________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… • .Describe the role of competition plays in shaping communities Entrance Activity: Without USING YOUR NOTES, Try to describe the difference between a niche and a habitat. Community interactions: COMPETITION Space Mates Water Resources Predation: One animal captures and feeds off of another Symbiosis: two species live closely together You and your group members will create a QUICK skit about one of the types of community interactions… It should explain the type of interaction (PG 102104) You will present them in 15 minutes Predation Mutualism Commensalism Parasitism EVERYONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING The class should understand the relationship from your presentation Tuesday, October15th, 2013 _______________________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… • Describe how ecosystems recover from a disturbance 0000000000 Entrance Activity Get with your group practice and be sure that everyone understands what they are doing… You will be seeing examples of PREDATION MUTUALISM COMMENSALISM PARASITISM { PREDATION MUTUALISM COMMENSALISM PARASITISM Tuesday, October 21st , 2014 _______________________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… • Describe how ecosystems recover from a disturbance 0000000000 Entrance Activity 1. Please grab two pieces of plain white paper (you can grab them off of the lonely stool at the front of the room) 2. Open Your book to page 106and quickly read through the two types of succession. { Ecological SUCCESSION Predictable changes that occur in a community over time Example: Older inhabitants die out, new ones come to inhabit Primary Succession -Inhabitation that occurs on surfaces where there is no soil -Example: after volcanic eruptions or when glaciers melt Pioneer species The first species to populate an area Example: LICHENS Combo of fungus and algae. BREAK DOWN ROCK AND FIX NITROGEN! Why might this be an awesome thing in a primary succession example? When a disturbance removes the community but leaves the soil Example: wildfires, abandoned farm land YELLOWSTONE Wednesday, October 22nd 2014 _______________________________________________________ Daily Objective: By the end of today I should be able to… • Review and wrap up chapter 4 concepts Entrance Activity Please have your homework out on your desk. Be sure that you r name is on it. Review your succession foldable and when you are finished, take a few minutes to write out the major differences between primary and secondary succession in your notebook When is your Chapter 4 test? Tuesday What will it be on? Chapter 4 concepts, vocab, activities and readings Quiz Homework.
