Monday
Final Exam Groups - Please complete the google form
Some species are more equal than others
- Pull vocabulary from the video that pertains to ecosystems and communities
Tuesday and Wednesday
Submit Your Team Contract - Use the "common cards" from the card sort activity
Food Chains and Food Webs in the Pacific Northwest
How does energy flow through an ecosystem - what are the energy needs of organisms and how does that dictate the flow of energy from one trophic level to the next?
Successful groups will be able to model a simple food chain and use that model to make predictions about how energy flows through the ecosystem
Thursday and Friday
What factors may limit the success of your food chain in the Alaskan Kelp Forest, specifically the sea otter, the sea urchin and kelp?
Successful groups will be able to explore and explain the abiotic factors that impact the Alaskan Kelp Forest
