Today in Biology
Due to the pPSAT administration today, periods 1 and 4 didn't have class. Period 8 spent the entireity of the period working on their environmental issues project (due in 1 1/2 weeks). No classes will have additional in class time to work directly on their projects. Students should aim to complete their reports by Friday, their newscast scripts (drafts) as soon as possible afterwards, and their filming over the weekend and during the school week. On Saturday, the 27th and Sunday, the 28th, students should put final touches on their newscast and report via editing. Projects are due Monday, the 29th - on a CD or flash drive.
For class tomorrow, students should have read pg. 90-93 in the textbook and answered questions 2 and 4.

bio: Week of 10/8 - 10/12
This week in biology, we'll be continuing our study of ecology. We will start the week by creating food webs and discussing how the presence or lack of a organism in an ecosystem can cause effects that ripple... We will also talk about trophic levels and energy pyramids in order to understand how energy is transferred through an ecosystem. And of course, we will culminate with a quiz on Friday.
Objective 10/8, 10/9: Scientists will construct a food web in order to explain how organisms are connected to one another. (see Torrens River Food Web Activity)
HW 10/8: finish food web Q's
HW 10/9: none
Objective 10/10: Scientists will examine food webs and ecological pyramids in order to explain their usefulness to ecologists and apply those uses themselves. (see Feeding Relationships and Niches Notes)
HW 10/10: none
Objective 10/11: Scientists will perform a predator-prey simulation in order to observe the effects of predator/prey populations on an ecosystem's structure. (see Predator-Prey Simulation)
