We will review the main characteristics of populations and discuss and reinforce how populations are measured as we focus upon the exponential and logistic models. Furthermore, we will examine the limiting factors that control population size, understand how populations fluctuate, … Continue reading →

We will discuss the topic of understanding populations in terms of its main properties that scientists tend to measure as they work with populations, compare the three general patterns of population dispersion, identify the measurements that are used to describe … Continue reading →

Students will be evaluated upon the interdependence process between and among organisms and their environment with a focus on the energy transfer process through food webs as well as how the nutrients get recycled through the biogeochemical cycles of nature.

We will answer and correct the concept map along with the brief assessment that we did yesterday and answer the scheduled homework assignment question #’s: 6, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, and 23 on page 376. Furthermore, we will answer question #’s: 1 through … Continue reading →

We will go over the study guide on the biogeochemical cycles and complete a concept map that is based upon the given clues. When students are done they may continue their work on the chapter review questions on pages 376-377. … Continue reading →

Students will reinforce and document their comprehension skills of the four key biogeochemical cycles that include the water cycle, carbon-oxygen cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the phosphorus cycle.

We will briefly review the classwork on energy transfer from Friday, and begin the class discussion upon the biogeochemical cycles, namely, the water cycle, the carbon-oxygen cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the phosphorus cycle, whereby a group of four students … Continue reading →

As a class assignment, students will reinforce the process of energy transfer among organisms by answering a set of series questions that will include their critical thinking skills as well as analyze a food web that is based upon given … Continue reading →

After students finishing defining the main concepts on energy transfer, they are to think about a series of fifteen organisms that can have  interdependent relationships to survive in an environment as their energies are passed through an ecosystem, thereby creating a … Continue reading →

We will discuss and reinforce the biotic and abiotic factors in the environment and give several examples upon them. Furthermore, we will describe the two mechanisms that allow organisms to survive in a changing environment that help them to evolve into their … Continue reading →
