Predator Prey Relationships, Lesson PowerPoint

1. • Which letter below represents the predator, and which represents the prey?

5. -Please make notes legible and use indentations when appropriate. -Example of indent. -Skip a line between topics -Don’t skip pages -Make visuals clear and well drawn. Please label. Individual Population Community Ecosystem Biome Biosphere

6. • RED SLIDE: These are notes that are very important and should be recorded in your science journal. • BLACK SLIDE: Pay attention, follow directions, complete projects as described and answer required questions neatly. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

35. • You can now complete this question on your bundled homework package.

70. • Swarming: Is a collective behavior exhibited by animals of similar size which group together. – Often moving together, or migrating in some direction as a mass. – Schooling, flocking, herding, etc. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

87. • Flocking: – Allows birds to take advantage of abundant food sources. • A few birds will find the food and the rest take advantage. – Increases safety / protection – Attract a mate – Raising a family is safer – Aerodynamics in flying / migrating – Warmth from your neighbors Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

Murphy Disadvantages: Disease spreads, competition, increase in visibility. Flocking is helpful or the birds wouldn’t do it…

91. • Schooling – Schools protect fish from enemies because there is always safety in numbers. Predators find it easier to chase down a fish when it is all alone, than trying to single out a fish from a huge group.

172. • Stripes also make the Zebra look bigger than it may actually be because of the curved black lines. Looks very large! Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy Learn more about how the stripes aid in zebra survival at.. http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/encyclopedia/food- web/?ar_a=1

180. • Never turn your back! • Take small bites, and watch your back. • Use your senses and be alert! • Predators are always lurking. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy You if you turn your back tomorrow in the simulation

182. • Feeding Simulations Available Sheet.

184. • Set-up of simulation. Hula-Hoop = Habitat / Safe Zone Teacher = Predator Seeds are everywhere in the grass Grass

186. White bean = 1

187. White bean = 1 Red Bean = 5

188. White bean = 1 Red Bean = 5 Green Bean = 10

189. White bean = 1 Red Bean = 5 Green Bean = 10

190. • Directions to Simulation (Round 1). – Each round, obtain 30 energy units • White = 1 unit • Red = 5 units • Green = 10 units • Seeds are collected at end of each round, they are not rolled over. • If you have less than 30 you die, you will play again soon. • If you have more than 30 you survive again Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

198. • Predator Prey Second Round • Habitat and Predators – Same as first, but this time with predators. – You still need 30 energy units. – You are safe from predators if you are touching Hula-Hoop. – Predators can only walk (no running), only tag someone out if they deliberately don’t stop feeding and run away when you are standing over them making hawk noises. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

200. • Please record the following questions in your journal and leave four lines in between questions for your response. • Describe the competition for resources that you experienced? • What type of seeds did you look for? Why? • How did predators (hawks) affect your feeding? • How did habitat help you? Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy

205. • Activity! Indoor Predator Prey Cycle – Please record the spreadsheet on the next slide into your journal. – 11 x 3

207. Generations Rabbits Coyotes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

209. • Activity! Predator Prey Cycle – Have many (300+ per table group) normal note cards (rabbits) (colored if possible) – Have jumbo note cards (different color represent coyotes) – Spread 20 rabbits all over large lab table so no two rabbits are touching but they are all close. – Toss 5 coyote cards onto large lab table to get the most rabbits that you can from a short distance. – If coyote card touches a rabbit then the rabbit is eaten and removed. The coyote reproduces, pick up cards and double them. If coyote misses – It’s dead and removed. Record new number after doubling each round – All the surviving rabbits reproduce as well and then spread onto the table. – Repeat rounds, record statistics on spreadsheet. – Visual of activity on the next series of slides.

277. • Answer! As prey rise, predator rise just behind them. As they rise they overpopulate and many prey get eaten. The predators then die until the prey repopulate. The cycle repeats. Copyright © 2010 Ryan P. Murphy
