2. Bell Work 2/5/2015
This is a picture of a neighborhood
in Japan following the massive
tsunami that occurred there in 2011.
1.) Are tsunamis abiotic or biotic
factors?
2.) What kind of factor (TEC COPS)
would a tsunami be?
3.) What other interrelated factors
might be affected by this event?
3. Welcome!Itinerary
Food Web Activity (.gif Lab)
Announcements:
Check your Celly app and look
for Wampler science if you
haven’t already added it!
Today’s Learning Target:
Today I am finishing research on
abiotic and biotic factors so that I
can display how populations are
affected when those factors are
changed. I know that I’ll have it when
I have completed page 1 of my mini
lab using my notebook and research
4. NEW UNIT:
Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that
changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem
affect populations
AND…
Evaluate competing designs for maintaining biodiversity and
ecosystem services

5. Ecosystem Clarifications
1.) Within your ecosystem, clarify which part of the
ecosystem you are investigating.
a.) Is the grassland here in Shelby Co., or in Africa?
That will affect the types of abiotic factors that have
an influence on your ecosystem.
2.) Your organisms should display interdependence. If you
insert an organism that doesn’t relate to the others, then
it doesn’t need to be part of this particular food web.
6. Tips:
For good pictures (and good .gifs):
1.) Make sure you always take the picture from the same
spot, framed the same way. This keeps the gif from being
shaky.
2.) Make sure that the picture has enough lighting!
3.) Tape might help you keep the pictures in the correct
place, especially if you are going to hold the board up.
7. Today’s Goals:
Your goals for today:
PAGE 1 of your mini-lab
1.) All abiotic factors considered and recorded
2.) All biotic factors picked, drawn, colored, cut out.
Stretch goals:
1.) Lines drawn, pictures taken
2.) .gif created for part 1
